==== Singapore ==== Singapore has a crude divorce rate of 1.7 divorce per 1,000 residents.<ref name="singstat.gov.sg">{{Cite web |title=Marital Status, Marriages and Divorces - Latest Data |url=http://www.singstat.gov.sg/find-data/search-by-theme/population/marital-status-marriages-and-divorces/latest-data |access-date=2022-04-05 |website=Base |language=en |archive-date=13 May 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220513113758/https://www.singstat.gov.sg/find-data/search-by-theme/population/marital-status-marriages-and-divorces/latest-data |url-status=live }}</ref> Singapore has seen a decrease in divorce rates compared to previous years. In fact, 2020 marks the lowest number of divorces recorded. In 2020, there were 6,700 divorces compared to 2015β2019, which recorded an average number of 7,536 marital dissolutions.<ref name="singstat.gov.sg"/> Additionally, most divorces were initiated by women. Singapore requires the applicant to be married for three years before filing for divorce. That being said, if one has suffered exceptional hardship, they are eligible to file for divorce before the three years. Additionally, to get a divorce, there must be proof of an "irretrievable breakdown" of one of the four factors which include adultery, unreasonable behaviour, desertion and separation.<ref>{{Cite web |title=What are the Legal Grounds for Getting a Divorce? |url=https://singaporelegaladvice.com/law-articles/what-are-the-grounds-for-getting-a-divorce/ |access-date=2022-04-05 |website=SingaporeLegalAdvice.com |date=10 August 2018 |language=en-US |archive-date=1 June 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220601120818/https://singaporelegaladvice.com/law-articles/what-are-the-grounds-for-getting-a-divorce/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
