actually, you don't have divorces because you are not allowed to get divorced. you will shame your family...and you will be damaged goods (so to speak). what you do have is a high rate of adultery- although it is the man who is the cheater bc the woman isn't allowed. you also have very unhappy marriages because two people don't have anything in common. you also don't have the happy family thing you may expect. in my friend's family, his mother is completely mistreated by his father's family. his parents have been married more than 30 years and it has never gotten better. mainly what you get is two people who are forced to stay together even tho they don't want to and they are basically miserable...and then bring that miserableness to the family that they are supposed to have becuase their parents said so.
