@hairyfatslobpig all of the same factors are in the cultures of those who experience arranged marriages. The difference is the fact that a higher spiritual and moral standard is presented and upheld by those involved. They simply avoid the ignorance of infatuation with another and seek the positives in their parter for the fact that they have what they view as an obligation to their family and religion to forge a life long bond with someone.

@hairyfatslobpig THIS!!!!

@timgeog Arranged marriages also often take place because of obsession -- Right salary, right status, right family name, right star sign. And of course you don't get divorced, that would embarrass the family that set you up. It doesn't mean you're happy. Iknow MANY miserable arranged couples, some of whom were only allowed to meet their wives once, who even have affairs on the side to fill the emotional void. But no intention of divorcing because you just "don't." Statistical rates deceive.

@nuzyish Exactly. Divorce "rates" in a society where you just don't freely get divorced, is deceptive.

It sounds like marriage in America in the 1960's. "Changing yourself for your husband is better than never getting married at all." See how happy they all are. And divorce was low in the 60's for the same reason it is in India today: Huge stigma against it. Nothing to do with happiness.

strange..

In my opinion it's not about what percentage of arranged marriages end up in divorce, it's about if couples r happy or not. Honestly arranged marriages are more like a commitment made with ur parents or whoever arranged the marriage rather than ur partner. I had an arrange marriage but I would never never never expect that from my kids.

@SaffronCicely what is the song called exactly?

Nice clip however just because very few end in divorce, doesn't make the couples happier. Perhaps divorced woman are frowned upon and would suffer unhappily for the sake of pride and not disrespecting families. There are some good points however for arranged marriages to work, they must generally take place where the society that surrounds you, is in tune with that practice. Very difficult in Western culture where woman work, temptation everywhere and many different cultures getting married.
