Between July and September 2025, the country recorded 196 divorces, a figure that, while not insignificant, marks a continued decline compared to previous years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For context, 395 divorces were recorded in 2023, dropping to 334 in 2024, a decrease of about 15%. While some couples are parting ways, far more are choosing to unite. The Ministry confirmed that marriage applications and approvals continue to outpace divorce filings by a wide margin, with new unions and cross-border marriages steadily increasing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From the outside, the figures might just look like numbers. But behind every entry in the Home Affairs register lies a story, some of heartbreak, others of renewal.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4486\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4486\" style=\"width: 1080px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4486\" src=\"https:\/\/genesisekucalenimedia.com\/edn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/P9-Sub-Lead-Sunday-Love-Thrives-in-Eswatini-as-Divorce-Declines-and-Marriages-Rise.Eswatini-has-recorded-over-100-divorce-cases-between-July-and-September-.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1080\" height=\"720\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4486\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rings on fingers after getting married<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cLove still lives in Eswatini,\u201d a senior Home Affairs official told Eswatini Sunday. \u201cYes, some marriages end, but we\u2019re also seeing more people choosing to marry, both here and abroad. It speaks to a society that still values family and commitment.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>READ MORE: <a title=\"\u2018Becoming Mr\u2019: South Africa\u2019s Surname Ruling Sparks Debate in Eswatini\" href=\"https:\/\/genesisekucalenimedia.com\/edn\/archives\/3732\">\u2018Becoming Mr\u2019: South Africa\u2019s Surname Ruling Sparks Debate In Eswatini<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the same period, when 196 divorces were finalised, 10 applications for authority to marry were submitted and approved, while 139 citizens applied for marriage clearance letters to wed outside the country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The ministry says these clearances, required for Swati nationals marrying foreigners or holding ceremonies abroad, show how love is crossing borders, blending cultures, and reshaping the idea of family in modern Eswatini.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As in previous years, Manzini Region recorded the highest number of both marriages and divorces, followed by Hhohho, Lubombo, and Shiselweni. Officials attribute this to Manzini\u2019s population size and its role as the country\u2019s economic hub.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Courts in Mbabane and Manzini handle most divorce applications, but family counsellors say not every struggling couple makes it that far. In rural areas, many marital disputes are resolved traditionally, through family mediation or church-led reconciliation.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4487\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4487\" style=\"width: 1080px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4487\" src=\"https:\/\/genesisekucalenimedia.com\/edn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/P9-Sub-Lead-Sunday-Love-Thrives-in-Eswatini-as-Divorce-Declines-and-Marriages-Rise.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1080\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4487\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A couple in traditional attire<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even when couples do go to court, not all cases are successful. Last week, a couple in Mbabane made headlines after their divorce application was dismissed for citing \u201cfalling out of love\u201d as the reason for separation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Under Eswatini law, emotional distance isn\u2019t enough. Courts require legally recognised grounds, \u00a0adultery, desertion, abuse or irretrievable breakdown of the marriage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe courts apply the law, not emotions,\u201d explained a local legal expert. \u201cBut cases like these remind us that the heart and the law don\u2019t always speak the same language.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sociologists say the decline in divorce rates can be attributed to several factors, from improved access to counselling and mediation to greater public awareness of marriage responsibilities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Religious leaders have also intensified marriage workshops and community-based support, urging couples to seek help before resorting to the courts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe can\u2019t stop disagreements, but we can teach communication,\u201d said Reverend Thokozani Mamba of the Evangelical Church in Manzini. \u201cMany couples who once considered divorce have rebuilt their relationships with guidance and prayer.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4485\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4485\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4485\" src=\"https:\/\/genesisekucalenimedia.com\/edn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/P9-Sub-Lead-Sunday-Love-Thrives-in-Eswatini-as-Divorce-Declines-and-Marriages-Rise.2025-financial-year-covering-July-to-September-2024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4485\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wedding bands<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Still, experts caution that not every declining figure means harmony. Some couples, particularly in rural areas, may avoid divorce due to financial constraints, social stigma, or lack of legal knowledge.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Home Affairs data shows that most divorces occur among couples aged 35 to 39, typically between five and nine years into marriage. Women initiate the majority of cases, a reflection, experts say, of shifting gender roles and rising awareness of legal rights.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cMany women now know they don\u2019t have to stay in unhappy or abusive marriages,\u201d said attorney Phindile Dlamini. \u201cThe law gives them options.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Common causes cited in previous reports include infidelity, financial pressure, prolonged separation due to employment, and domestic conflict, trends mirrored across Southern Africa.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>READ MORE: <a href=\"https:\/\/eswatinifinancialtimes.africa\/african-leaders-resolute-against-lgbtq-rights\/\">African leaders resolute against LGBTQ rights<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beyond the personal stories, the ministry says accurate registration of marriages and divorces is critical for national planning, from gender equality policies to social services and legal aid.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe Civil Registration and Vital Statistics (CRVS) system is not just about paperwork,\u201d the ministry\u2019s statement reads. \u201cIt\u2019s about ensuring citizens are legally recognised and protected in every aspect of life.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recent digital upgrades have improved turnaround times and reduced backlogs across regional offices, making it easier for citizens to access marriage and divorce documentation.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4489\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4489\" style=\"width: 1800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4489\" src=\"https:\/\/genesisekucalenimedia.com\/edn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/P9-Sub-Lead-Sunday-Love-Thrives-in-Eswatini-as-Divorce-Declines-and-Marriages-Rise3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1800\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4489\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A couple during their wedding<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While 196 divorces were recorded in the last quarter, they represent just a fraction of the nation\u2019s family dynamics.
