Fewer Germans are married as the unmarried population grows

Nearly 50 percent of German adults are now married, marking a significant decline in marital status. This trend reflects the lowest number of marriages recorded in Germany since 1950, with a notable increase in the unmarried population over the past three decades. The number of married individuals has decreased from 60 percent to approximately 50 percent of adults, while the unmarried population has risen from 24 percent to over 33 percent.
