Divorce rates among older adults, particularly those over 50, are increasing significantly, a trend referred to as 'gray divorce.' This phenomenon challenges the traditional notion of lifelong marriage, with experts citing societal shifts, a greater emphasis on personal fulfillment, and women's increased workforce participation as contributing factors. High-profile separations, including those of Bill Gates and A.R. Rahman, have brought attention to this trend, indicating that leaving long-term marriages is becoming more common across various demographics.
