More than 190 couples in Zhongyuan district of Zhengzhou, the capital of Henan province, got divorced in August, 54 more than the previous month.

In another district, Jinshui district, an average of 66 couples have divorced every week since August.

Local marriage registration officials said August and September are usually the peak months for divorce in the central metropolis since most couples wait for their children to enroll into universities before calling it quits.
