I partially agree, especially when spouses are abused. But marriages aren't always "happy". There are ruts, challenges, which test a couples will and commitment. I feel some people throw in the towel as soon as life gets "hard" for the sole sake of finding "happy" somewhere else.
People will divorce more where it's more acceptable to do so. India has a very low divorce rate because divorce is shameful to the person and the entire family so it doesn't happen regardless of how miserable they are.
I think it depends on status and where you live. Some countries the rate is so low bc divorce is very very frowned upon. Some countries like here in America it’s a lot more acceptable.
Well in places like Iran I would imagine it's so low there because of the lack of rights for women to get divorced plus a social stigma is probably at play

Because people have the legal and financial freedom to be able to make the choice to leave if they are in an unhappy in their relationships.
Even if it is highly negatively affecting the children?
@Cubus you know what's even worse? Forcing children to live in toxic home environment...…
I do not talk about abuse situations. I talk about celebrity like marriage - 3 years and you get bored with your spouse
yep, this is the main reason as to why...
@Cubus I would assume that most celebrity marriages are toxic...

Women have rights and voice there. They aren't forced into marriages where divorce rates are high, they prefer to stay out of love.
But women can easily get divorced in India as well. Also see my update.
It's easier for muslim men to divorce.
India is literally the country of taboos. Divorce happens to be the biggest one.

For example Hindus can’t divorce. It’s a sin against God to divorce, that’s when many don’t. I’m some places they just keep that old practice.
No Hindus are free to get divorced. People are not that religious.

There is little to no stigma in those countries
But Islam also considers divorce a disgrace.
Aren't divorce rates lower in Muslim countries?
You can see for yourself. They are still pretty high according to me.
No it doesn’t. Islam allows for divorce.
So does Hinduism.
Doesn't surprise me that most of the English speaking countries have the highest divorce rates
I'm pretty sure the US divorce rates are much higher in the big cities and much lower in the rural areas
Its called alimony and child support. Why work hard to make a marriage work when you can just fuck the poor guy out of his money.
I'm surprised the UK is high. Most people here don't bother getting married anymore 😂
I guarantee these places are ones which have no fault divorce. Also 90% of all divorces are initiated by the female..
Aw two snowflakes disagreed, yet stats don't like
More permissive societies, most of in which women can support themselves.
Luxembourg? first time hearing about that country
Very surprising to see us in 5th
Many couples today do not want to concede. Each person thinks they're right.
Sex
Money
It’s so sad to see I’d rather not marry…
It’s high in America
Liberalism need I say more
Culture primarily
Where are those Muslims who are getting divorced? Are they all in western countries?
Dry ass pussy.
