Married Couples Are Now The Minority In Britain by: PhawkerPosted on: June 27, 2008December 18, 2022 DAILY MAIL: Married people have become a minority for the first time, it emerged yesterday. Most over-16s are now single, divorced or widowed, figures from the Office for National Statistics indicate. In 2006, the last year for which details are available, there were 236,980 weddings in England and Wales – the lowest number since 1895. It was also the lowest proportion of marriages compared to the population since counting began in the mid-Victorian era.
