The divorce rate is getting more and more concerning. The number of divorce rate shows a
significant increase both nationally and regionally in Indonesia. During 2019, there were 480,618
divorce cases. This divorce rate increased by 18% compared to the previous year which
amounted to 408,202 cases. This paper aims to determine the determinants of divorce in
Indonesia, using a Systematic Literature Review of 20 journals published by indexed publishers.
The results based on the mapping state that the differentiation of the determinants of divorce in
Indonesia very much depends on each region. However, all of them can be mapped into 16
factors that cause divorce, namely: economic factors, responsibility, continuous quarrels,
harmony, infidelity, domestic violence, jealousy, leaving a partner, forced marriage,
apostasy/leaving Islam, drunkenness and gambling, obstructed communication,
interference/third party intervention, incompatibility, unhealthy polygamy, and moral crisis. The
conclusion of this study is that the strongest determinant of divorce in Indonesia in each region
is the economic factor. Economic factors are the strongest factor causing divorce, because the
cause of divorce in almost all areas with the highest frequency and the highest percentage is also
compared to other causes of divorce.
