Marriage and Divorce
WASHINGTON, D. C., (By Mall.)
—About cue marriage in every nine is
terminated by divorce. The number of
marriages in proportion to the popula
tion has increased since 1890, but the
divorce rate has increased muoh more
rapidly. The returns for 1916 show
1,050 marriagts and 112 divorces per
100,000 population. These are some of
the more striking features of a report
on marriage and divorce, covering the
calendar years 1916, which is soon to
! be issutd by Director Sam. L. Rogers
of the Bureau of the Census, Depart
ment of Commerce. This report was!
j compiled under the supervision of Mr.!
.William C. Hunt, Chief Statistician I
for Population.
DIVORCE:— According to the rtturns I
which covered 2. 885 counties out of]
a total of 2,980—no data being avail
able for the 95 missing counties—the
number of divorces granted in 1916
was 112,036, or 112 ptr 100,000 of popu
lation, as agalnBt 84 in 1906, 73 in
1906 and 53 in 1890.
Excluding South Carolina, In which
state all laws permitting divorce were
repealed in 1878, the lowest three di
vorce rates in 1916 are shown for the
District of Columbia, North Carolina,
and New York—13, 31 and 32 per 100
000 population, respectively; while the
highest three rates are those for Ne
vada, Montana and Oregon—607, 323
and 255 respectively. The divorce ra
tes were higher in 1916 than in 1906
for all the states except eight; Maine,
West Virginia, South Carolina (in
which there were no divorce in either
year) Alabama, Mississipi, North Da
kota, South Dakota and Colorado, and
the District of Columbia. In 31.1 per
cent of the cases the divorce was grant
ed to the husband and in 68.9 per cent
t0 the wife. The latter percentage com
pares with 67.5 for 1906 and 66.4 for
1896.
CAUSts or oivuhot:— me prin
cipal causes for divorce and the per
centages contributed by them to the
total were; Desertion, 36.8 per cent;
cruelty, 28.3 per ent; in„delity,11.5
per cent; neglect to provide, 4.7 per
cent; drunkenness, 3.4 per centjcom
binations of preceding causes, 8.6 per
cent; all other causes, 6.7 per cent.
Desertion was reported as the cause of
50 per cent of the divorces granted to
the husband and 30.8 per cent of those
granted to the wife.
ohiLUKtN;—in only 3/,/ per cent
of the divorce cases were children re
ported; In 52,1 per cent no children
were reported and in 10,2 per cent the
records contained no data as to child
ren. Children were reported in 27,8
ner cent of the cases: and in the re
maining i3,o per cent tne records
contained no data as to children. The
corresponding percentages based upon
divorces granted to wives were 42,2
oer cent and 8,6 per cent,respectively
MARRIAGES:—The report shows, for
2.874 out of 2,980 counties—no inform
ation being available in the case of
;he 106 missing counties—1,040,778
narriages as having been solemnized
Juring the year 1916. This number
represents a rate of 105 per 10,000 pop
ulation, compared with 102 for 1906,
93 for 1900, and 91 for 1890. The mar
riage rate, therefore, is increasing, al
though not so rapidly as the divorce
rate.
The marriage rate—105 per 10,000
population, or 1,050 per 100,000— was
a little more than 9 times as great as
the divorce rate, 112 per 100,000; and
it mya be said, therefort, that if the
1916 rate were to continue unchanged
about 1 marriage in 9 would be ter
minated by divorce.
The marriage rates for the various
states show considerable differences,
ranging from 65 per 10,000 in Oregon
to 176 in Montana. The highest three
rates—175,150, and 149—appear for
Montana,8 Maryland, and Florida, re
spectively, and the lowest three—65,
66, and 73—are those for Oregon, N.
Daota, and Wisconsin, respectively.
