Abstract	The increasing proportion of ethnic minorities in Britain has been paralleled by an increase in the occurrence of mixed-ethnic marriages between one White partner and an ethnic minority partner. Such marriages are thought to be at higher risk of divorce, but empirical studies so far have been inconclusive. This paper uses the Office for National Statistics longitudinal study for England and Wales to investigate whether mixed-ethnic unions are more likely to end in divorce than co-ethnic unions. We followed married couples in 1991–2001 and examined their risks of divorce. We found evidence that mixed-ethnic unions have a higher risk of dissolution than co-ethnic unions. However, after controlling for partners’ characteristics, most importantly the younger ages of people in mixed-ethnic unions, the risk of divorce for mixed-ethnic unions was no longer elevated, but lay close to the higher risk found for the two constituent co-ethnic unions.Alors que la présence des minorités ethniques en Grande-Bretagne augmente, on observe un accroissement des mariages mixtes entre un(e) partenaire blanc(he) et un(e) partenaire d’une minorité ethnique. Ces mariages sont réputés plus fragiles, mais les études empiriques menées jusqu’à présent ne sont pas concluantes. A partir des données de l’enquête longitudinale de l’Office national de statistiques pour l’Angleterre et le Pays de Galles, cet article examine si les unions mixtes présentent un risque de divorce plus important que les unions entre partenaires de même origine ethnique. Des couples mariés en 1991 sont suivis jusqu’en 2001 afin d’étudier les risques de divorce. On constate que les unions mixtes présentent des risques de rupture plus élevés que les unions entre partenaires de même origine ethnique. Cependant, une fois contrôlées les autres caractéristiques des partenaires, et plus particulièrement les âges plus jeunes des personnes en union mixte, les risques de divorce pour les unions mixtes ne paraîssent plus si élevés et se rapprochent du risque le plus élevé observé pour les deux types d’union entre partenaires de même origine ethnique étudiés dans cet article.
