Divorce rates have rapidly increased in New York due to couples staying in for self-quarantine.
In a report by Page Six, most of these couples seeking divorce are involuntarily spending time together in small apartments or houses that can cause tension throughout this critical time.
Another factor contributing to the increased divorce rates is the recent loss of jobs and plummeting stocks among the wealthy.
Divorce Attorney William D. Zabel said in a statement that his clientele increased to 50 percent since the "On Pause" order in New York City.
He said: "We’ve had an increased amount of calls in the past week from people seeking representation for divorce proceedings, a 50 percent increase, and I have been hearing the same from my colleagues at other firms."
A similar occurrence has happened in China where couples were also divorcing during their mandatory quarantine (read here). According to Lu Shijun, head of the marriage registry in Dazhou, people mostly young people, are filing for divorce out of impulse.

The consequences of partnership marriage as westerners promote.
Most of those marriage are mistakes , they are individual mistakes ,that people have chosen the easy way out which is marriage . There is already tension between the couple .
These people are strange people in strange times. It is not your partner who is causing you to be quarantined. It is rather this time that you need the mental support of your partner in prayer to go through these trying times. They are so fragile and this disease needs mental strength to survive it since there is no known cure! Where is their God? Let Israel not ask: where is their God! For He is the Lord ,mighty in battle! We will go through and come out of this the wiser!
