Divorces on the rise, over 6,600 couples separated in 2024

The number of divorces in Albania has marked a significant increase in 2024, reaching 6,632 cases, about 1,000 more than in 2023.

Economic factors, violence, emigration, and changing expectations between partners are among the main reasons for marital crises.

Drita Avdyli, National Chamber of Mediators: "Society is in crisis, families are in crisis, economic causes have also had an impact, and immigration has also had an impact, we have many cases of domestic violence. There are cases that are no longer understood or when love has ended."

While the number of completed divorces has increased, new requests for marriage dissolution have decreased, according to data obtained from the Ministry of Justice. The trend of separations is not limited to young couples, as the majority of requests are made by women.

Drita Avdyli, National Chamber of Mediators: "There is no age limit for family separation. Last year, the age range was 40-50 and the requests came from women."

Another growing trend in 2024 is the increase in divorce requests with mediation agreements, avoiding lengthy court processes.

Drita Avdyli, National Chamber of Mediators: "There are over 2 thousand cases resolved through mediation during 2024, while in 2023, 1200-1300. They have increased significantly because the parties have become aware that with just one session the issue can be resolved... Not only does the citizen have the solution very quickly, but the courts are also relieved of their workload."

 "Tirana, Durrës, Elbasan and Fier top the list of cities with the highest number of divorces for 2024, while Kukës, Gjirokastra, Saranda and Dibra have recorded the lowest number."/Tv Klan
