Abstract
The paper focuses on trends over time in differentials between Southeast Asian Muslims and non-Muslims in the incidence of divorce and various aspects of divorce. There has been a considerable narrowing of differentials in divorce rates, which the paper seeks to document using appropriate measures, as well as to explain. Time trends in divorce rates according to age at marriage are examined, along with intervals between marriage and divorce, and in the partner initiating the divorce. The similar social and labor market forces affecting both Muslims and non-Muslims in these increasingly urbanized societies are seen to be largely responsible for both the narrowing of differentials in divorce and the general upward trend in divorce rates in the first 2 decades of the 21st century.
期刊介绍：
The Asian Journal of Social Science is a principal outlet for scholarly articles on Asian societies published by the Department of Sociology, National University of Singapore. AJSS provides a unique forum for theoretical debates and empirical analyses that move away from narrow disciplinary focus. It is committed to comparative research and articles that speak to cases beyond the traditional concerns of area and single-country studies. AJSS strongly encourages transdisciplinary analysis of contemporary and historical social change in Asia by offering a meeting space for international scholars across the social sciences, including anthropology, cultural studies, economics, geography, history, political science, psychology, and sociology. AJSS also welcomes humanities-oriented articles that speak to pertinent social issues. AJSS publishes internationally peer-reviewed research articles, special thematic issues and shorter symposiums. AJSS also publishes book reviews and review essays, research notes on Asian societies, and short essays of special interest to students of the region.
