California Divorce Rates by Age at First Marriage and Duration of First Marriage

Schoen, Robert

Journal of Marriage and the Family, 37, 3, 548-555, Aug 75

The proposition that age at first marriage is inversely related to the risk of divorce was examined by means of detailed age-duration-specific divorce rates for California 1969. A strong inverse relationship was found for male ages at marriage 18 through 25 and female ages at marriage 16 through 24. (Author)
