    The decline in religion's influence on society has contributed to rising divorce rates in Britain since 1945. Factors like same-sex marriage and civil weddings mean more marriages and therefore higher overall divorce. Additionally, unhappy couples may have previously stayed together to avoid conflict with the church, but this is less of a factor in modern society. Divorce can result in loss of income and emotional support, with single-parent families potentially facing poverty and divorcing partners losing the emotional support of each other and their shared social groups.

    Divorce - Sociology

    One reason for the general rise in the divorce rate in Britain since 1945 includes
    the decline in the influence that religion has on society.

    This includes factors such as same-sex marriage and civil weddings - more
    weddings being allowed/taking place will result in a higher divorce rate overall.

    Also, in the past, people may have remained in an unhappy relationship as the
    church frowned upon divorces, whereas this factor does not generally exist in
    todays society.

    Two social consequences of divorce may include loss of income and loss of emotional
    support.

    - Loss of income may prove a problem as they lose the financial help of the other
    partner, which may result in poverty in some single-parent families.

    - Loss of emotional support would also be an issue as when one partner leaves, their
    social groups may change as a result, and without them having the emotional support
    of the other partner, they may not be able to cope with the change.
