WBL: Legal Framework, Marriage, The law allows a woman to obtain a judgment of divorce in the same way as a man — every country, all years (World Bank)
The indicator assesses whether: (1) the process of divorce is equal for a man and a woman; OR (2) the evidentiary rules in divorce proceedings are the same for men and women: for example, the burden of proof is the same for a man as for a woman; OR (3) there are additional protections for women, such as the prohibition for a husband to initiate divorce proceedings if the wife is pregnant. Score = 1 if one of the three conditions is met; otherwise, score = 0. For details, please refer to the WBL Methodology Handbook (link: https://wbl.worldbank.org/content/dam/sites/wbl/documents/2026/WBL-Methodology-Handbook-2026-FINAL.pdf) Every country, region and year the World Bank publishes for indicator GD_WBL_MAR_LAW_DIVORCE (Gender Statistics), delivered as a tidy table — country, ISO code, year and value — ready for analysis in Excel, R, Python or the Intigal AI workspace.
