Have you ever heard the phrase “lost in translation”? Well, it’s not just about languages – it can happen with love too. Especially when two people from different cultures decide to call it quits.

Things can get messy fast. Family expectations? Different. Religious beliefs? Clashing. Who gets what? Oh boy, you’re in for a ride.

Divorce Customs: The World is a Weird and Wonderful Place

  • India: We’re talking a whole spectrum of divorce laws, depending on your religion. Get ready for some seriously detailed paperwork.
  • Japan: Divorce is different from the norm here. Couples often try to work things out (and we mean work things out) before throwing in the towel.
  • China: While divorce is becoming more common, there’s a mandatory cool-down period and counselling to see if you can kiss and make up.
  • United States: Each state has its own rules, and while “no-fault” is the way to go, things can get ugly (and pricey) if you’re not seeing eye-to-eye.
