The Maldives has consistently recorded the world's highest divorce rate — a phenomenon that researchers have linked to a combination of Islamic divorce law that permits rapid legal dissolution, strong economic independence for women, and social norms that have traditionally treated multiple marriages across a lifetime as unremarkable.
