“…This does provide evidence for changing attitudes towards divorce. Nevertheless, the number of children a couple have still continues to be an important factor in predicting divorce in both South Korea (Lee, 2006) and Hong Kong (Fan and Lui, 2004). South Korea's dramatic rise in divorce rates has not surprisingly led to increased attention by researchers.…”

“…These normative changes could include erosion of any stigma attached to divorce and increasing acceptance of divorce as a way out of unhappy marriages. Women in the region now are less tolerant towards marital infidelity and seek divorce in such situations (Fan and Lui, 2004). In fact, in a survey of nearly 200 respondents who had knowledge about divorced women nearly three-fourths felt that the divorced women were happier after divorce (Chou, 2008).…”

This paper presents and discusses recent trends in divorce for countries in Asia, highlighting both wide variations in divorce patterns and recent changes in divorce trends for countries in the region. Three broad regional patterns are evident: an East Asian pattern characterised by increasing divorce rates, though there are signs of stabilisation in some countries in the last few years; an Islamic Southeast Asian pattern characterised by declining divorce rates until recently; and a South Asian pattern with relatively stable and low divorce rates. The paper also discusses divorce in international marriages in some East Asian countries and Singapore.

“…This was an increase in the number of married men involved in extramarital affairs outside Hong Kong. According to research by Fan and Lui (2004), the presence of extramarital affairs is not the only determinant of marital instability, but it does tend to increase the probability of divorce.…”

This article evaluates a three-year Family Mediation Pilot Scheme introduced in Hong Kong in the year 2000. The findings of that scheme showed that users of the service generally considered that their time and money were saved and that mediation was effective in helping them to reach solutions on matters of dispute. On the basis of these findings, a framework covering the major parameters of family mediation services was developed. This noted that a service model which best suits Hong Kong is one whereby court-based and community-based services coexist, allowing couples to join the relevant service at any point during the divorce process. It should also be a service that is pluralistic and diverse in terms of the service and professional backgrounds of the mediators, thereby meeting the needs of a diverse clientele. Finally, it should offer an approach in which couples proceed to litigation only when mediation has been unsuccessfully attempted.

“…Indeed, dissatisfaction with sexual relationships can lead to serious problems in couples' relations resulting hatred of the spouse (Mulaviverdenjani , 2014). Fan & Lui (2004) reported a statistically dependant relationship between marital satisfaction and the quality of marital life. Based on a study on the United States Symond et al (2005) reported that sexual satisfaction was one of the most important factors in the quality of marital life in women.…”
