Mind-Blowing Iceland Facts to Make You Fall in Love with the Country
Marriages Are Not Important
Iceland is a country that stands out in terms of several worldly norms. While it legalized gay marriage in 2010 and became one of the first countries to do so, the country also has a lower marriage rate as compared to other places. In Iceland, it’s not uncommon for children to be born to unwed parents, and marriage is not as highly valued.
Statistics show that in 2012, 108,000 people got married in the country, and the number only increased to 123,000 by 2022. Of the total population, unmarried singles make up the second-largest group, at almost 88,000, followed by around 30,000 unmarried individuals in consensual relationships.
