From 100 Words for Wind to Safe Tap Water–Surprising Facts You Didn’t Know About Iceland
Marriage In Iceland
Iceland is a country that bucks traditional customs and conventions. Unlike in many other countries, marriage isn’t a big deal in this state, with over half of children born to unwed parents. In 2012, 108,000 people got married in Iceland, a figure that only rose to 123,000 a decade later, according to Statista.
What’s more, unmarried singles make up the second-highest number, with nearly 88,000, followed by about 30,000 unmarried individuals in consensual relationships. In Iceland, personal happiness and freedom come first, and societal norms take a backseat. Whether it’s marriage or any other aspect of life, Icelanders do things their way, and it’s working for them.
