Is divorce looked down on in Japan?

This article explores the history, social and cultural attitudes, legal aspects, economic factors, and religious influences that shape the Japanese attitude towards divorce. Divorce has been legal in Japan since 1873, when the Meiji Civil Code was enacted. Despite this, divorce is still seen as a negative event in Japanese society due to cultural expectations regarding marriage stability within society as well as religious beliefs which discourage remarriage after a couple has been divorced from each other. Economics can also play an important role when it comes to deciding whether or not two people will get divorced in Japan due to high housing costs associated with buying or renting property after a couple has separated or divorced from each other. Despite these social pressures against divorce, more couples are choosing to get legally separated if they feel unhappy with their current relationship rather than staying married out of fear of judgement from others which suggests that attitudes towards divorce may slowly be changing over time.
