There is no such world wide official record.

Divorce was allowed in the ancient world. In fact women in ancient Egypt had more rights in divorce than early Europeans (and later early Americans) to as late as the 20th Century. It is reported that Adams first wife, Lilith, left him when she refused to be dominated by her husband.

The first divorce in the Massachusetts Colony was granted in 1643 to Anne Clarke for desertion by her husband, Denis Clarke.
