answer text <p>The Office for National Statistics has published data on the rates of divorce between opposite sex and same sex couples at <a href="https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/populationandmigration/populationestimates/datasets/vitalstatisticspopulationandhealthreferencetables" target="_blank">https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/populationandmigration/populationestimates/datasets/vitalstatisticspopulationandhealthreferencetables</a>. The most recent data is for 2017. These rates are not directly comparable, given that no same sex marriages can date back before the first formations in 2014. The first divorces between same sex couples took place in 2015.</p><p> </p> more like this
