Zimbabwe's Divorce Rate Hits Record High in 2024
A concerning trend has emerged in Zimbabwe, with divorce cases skyrocketing in 2024. According to recent statistics, 3,214 divorce filings were recorded, a significant increase from 2,149 in 2023. Unfortunately, only 1,562 of these cases have been finalized, leaving many couples in limbo.
Harare tops the list with the highest number of divorce cases, with 1,945 filings and 996 finalized. Bulawayo follows closely with 825 cases and 383 completions. Other cities, including Masvingo, Mutare, and Chinhoyi, also reported notable numbers.
