Saudi Arabia has one of the highest divorce rates, with an average 66 divorce cases a day, according to a social expert, who blamed wrong choice of the spouse and other factors, a local daily reported on Sunday.

“An average 66 divorce cases are recorded daily in Saudi Arabia and this is a very serious indicator that threatens the local society,” said Iftikhar Dahneem, a well social expert in the Gulf Kingdom.

Quoted by Sharq newspaper, she said the main causes of the high divorce rate include the wrong choice of the spouse, the educational gap, differences in habits and poor understanding of marital duties.

The paper quoted a recent local study as saying high divorce cases are also due to negligence, disregard of either spouse, violence, and persistent disputes.
