In these days, Korea society is showing the serious level of the twilight divorce :elderly couples’ divorce as high percentage of total divorce. It is not too much to say that is the twilight divorce syndrome.
According to statistical data in 2010, rate of divorce couple lived with more than 2 decades was 27.3%, which is increase 4times from 8.5% in 1990. Moreover, this figure is higher than divorce rate for couple who lived together within 4years.
In my opinion, this highly divorce rate comes from long life span and desire for trying to find their own life in their middle age. Actually, many women who are spending unhappy marital life refrain to get divorce because their children. However, after their children grow up and leave, there are still long life times for women. So, they want to live their own life, and leave her husband. This is a main cause of the twilight divorce.
I agree with you. Lots of Korean old women divorce these days.
