25 Most Unfaithful Countries in the World

6. Norway – 41%

In 2022, approximately 21,000 individuals in Norway tied the knot, reflecting a notable increase of 4,700 weddings compared to the previous year, as reported by the Norwegian Statistics Agency. Simultaneously, around 17,000 spouses chose to end their marriages, marking the lowest divorce rate since the 1980s. In 2021, the number of divorces was approximately 700 higher. People in Norway are marrying at older ages and having children later in life. Consequently, many couples are choosing to maintain their marriages until their children have grown and moved out, which typically occurs at an older age.

5. France – 43%

As we’ve previously mentioned, France is one of the most sexually active countries in the world. Consequently, it’s no surprise that they also make it to the list of the most cheatable countries. In France, marriage has seen a significant decline in popularity. More and more couples are opting to live together, have children, and build their lives without seeking religious or civil approval for their partnerships. Over the past generation, the French marriage rate has dropped by over 30 percent, despite an increase in population and birthrates. This trend indicates a shifting perspective on marriage and partnership in the country and the country is on the list of the most unfaithful countries in the world as well.

4. Italy – 45%

Over the years, the number of Italians choosing to get married has been steadily decreasing. In 2022, the country recorded 3.2 marriages per thousand individuals, which is approximately one union less compared to the data from 2008. The marriage rate experienced a significant drop in 2020, mainly due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, reaching just 1.6 marriages per 1,000 people. Italians are now postponing their decision to get married to a later date. In the 1990s, the average age of Italian brides at the time of marriage was 26.8 years, but by 2017, the average age had increased to around 31 years. This trend indicates a shift in the timing and attitudes towards marriage in Italy.
