Why Families Are Collapsing in Saudi Arabia — One Divorce Every 9 Minutes!
Saudi Arabia calls itself the guardian of Islam and family values. Muslims often tell us that Islam protects the family. But the reality in Saudi Arabia says otherwise. According to official statistics, in 2025 there were more than 57,000 divorces — that’s one divorce every nine minutes.
