Reports from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) show that, in the last three years, the number of marriages in Indonesia has decreased. The most drastic decline occurred in 2023, with a drop of around 2 million couples, from 1,705,348 marriages in 2022 to 1,577,255 marriages in 2023. Moreover, the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) also stated that in 2023, the divorce rate in Indonesia decreased by 10.2%, from 516,344 cases to 463,654 cases. Although there has been a decline, this number is still considered quite large. Interestingly, 76% of these divorce cases are contested, meaning the divorce was initiated by the wife. This can be concluded that many women in Indonesia feel dissatisfied or uncomfortable with their marriages and choose to end them. What are the factors behind this trend? What is the response of psychological experts to this phenomenon?
