The U.S. ranks 5th in divorce rates

According to the website divorcemag.com, in 2002, there were 4.1 divorces per 1,000 people in the United States, which makes the United States rank fifth in that category. The Maldives ranked first, with 10.97 divorces per 1,000 people.

    That graph is false, the statistic is number of divorces per 1000 people, not marriages.
