Arranged Marriage equals Low Divorce Rate? March 27, 2007
Posted by Conrad Hubbard in : The Chip , trackbackWeird. I was watching a bit on CNN. Apparently India still practices arranged marriages as the primary method of marriage. Interestingly, they have less than 2% divorce rate. The question that immediately comes to mind for me is this: Does the divorce rate represent a success rate, or does the divorce rate represent a societal pressure against getting divorced?
In comparison, American divorce rates vastly exceed the rate of that in India, although what exactly those rates are is apparently a source of nearly 40 years of controvery. Check out this Wikipedia article about divorce (important disclaimer: Anybody can alter Wikipedia articles, so their accuracy is often questionable).
