Show the answer
2.5 (answers within ±1.5 count)
Why
Around two to three per cent on INE figures, and remarkably steady since the early years after legalisation in 2005. The initial spike from couples who had been waiting decades to marry passed quickly, after which the rate settled at roughly the level it has held since.
