Saudis Score highest in Separations and Divorce

Divorce rates are astoundingly high in Saudi Arabia, where filing for divorce, still taboo, is not easy.
Saudi Arabia: World’s Highest Divorce State
"According to a recent article published in the Emirates News, Saudi Arabia has the world’s highest divorce rate with a divorce occurring every thirty minutes."
And all this bearing in mind it is not as simple as the common misconception goes:
"It is not as simple as saying “Talaq, talaq, talaq” three times consecutively and a couple is instantaneously divorced and free from one another. Doing such is actually viewed as un-islamic and out of context of the Quran. A divorce under Islam has three stages which are initiation, reconciliation and completion. "
