The Canary Islands registered 1,869 marital breakups in the second quarter of this year, which is 17 more than in the same period of 2009, according to the study carried out by the Institute of Family Policy, which stressed that in the Islands almost half of the time the breakup was conflictive for the couple.
Of the total number of breakups, a consensual divorce occurred in 920 cases; 858 non-consensual divorces; 48 were consensual separations; 42, non-consensual. There was one marriage annulment during the second quarter of the year in the Islands.
At the national level, in the second quarter of 2010, and according to data from the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ), there were 34,262 marital breakups, of which 32,074 were divorces, 2,135 were separations and 53 were annulments. These data mean that in that period of time 377 marriages broke up every day, that is, one marriage every 3.8 minutes.
These data represent an increase of 4.7 percent compared to those produced in the second quarter of 2009, with 1,534 more breakups occurring.
