Marriages In Chowan Are More Lasting
(Special to The Herald)
NEW YORK—How high is
the divorce rate in Chowan
County compared with the
rate in other communities?
How many local residents
have been divorced? How
many have remarried?
For the great majority of
men and women in the local
area, marriage is a once-in-a
lifetime undertaking. For
others, who start out with
equally high hopes, their
marriages end up on the
rocks.
Data recently obtained from
the Department of Commerce,
from the Population Refer
, ence Bureau and others in
dicate the current trends in
divorce.
In Chowan County, it ap
pears, there are fewer di
vorced people, in proportion
to population, than are found
in most parts of the United

States.
According to the latest es
timates, some 41 out of every
1,000 local residents over the
age of 14 are either divorced
or separated from their
spouses. That is exclusive of
the number who were di
vorced previously but have
remarried.
The rate compares favor
ably with the rate in other
areas of the United States,
where it averages 47 per
1,000. In the state of North
Carolina, it is 44 per 1,000.
Special interest centers on
the divorce situation at this
time because of the actions
taken in many states in the
last few years extending the
grounds for divorce.
In California, for example,
if a couple appears before a
judge and states that “irre
concilable differences” exist
between them, he can grant

a divorce forthwith.
In New York state, where
adultery was the basic
ground for divorce for many
years, five new grounds have
been added, including separa
tion for two years or more.
If a couple can show that
they have been living apart
for that length of time under
an agreement, they can get a
divorce for that reason alone.
Based upo n ■ the latest
sampling survey of the coun
try, the number of divorced
and separated persons in
Chowan County is now esti
mated at approximately 320.
.This compares with the 1960
total of 280.
In general, it has been
found that for every person
in the nation who is current
ly divorced there are about
2Vi persons who have re
married after having been
divorced.
