Did love fail?

[chin_wan]

Statistic shows that the divorce rate in India is 11 per every 1000 marriage which is 1.1 percent as compared to US which is 49%.Stats taken from here (http://www.divorcemag.com/statistics/statsWorld.shtml) .

Now if you compare the culture from both countries, where in India most marriage are arranged and in the US where arranged marriaged is almost unheard of.

Does the above tells us anything? Did love fail? Or it takes more than just love to make a marriage work?

[chin_wan]

wasn't india or was it pakistan the country where if you shamed the family, they'd come at you with axes and chop your head off? I wouldn't dare divorce my wife too if that were the case.

kress, shouldn't it be you won't dare to even know girls if that is the case? :rolleyes: hehe .. :p

If marriage has already been concurred and vows made. Would you still wanna break it? I know most do.

Seriously, all you married fellas out there, when you get married and made your vows ... do you really meant it from the bottom of your heart? Or you just say, cos the witness tells you to do so,"please repeat after me."????

[kress]

people change even after marriage... you cannot fault a person for changing..

[kokomo]

Err .. is it a must for ppl to change? Well, if they change for a better then it's ok. But if other way round?

Ever heard of ppl change but love for their loved ones remain?

The divorce rate in india is low cos perhaps not many of the women folks there are educated or outspoken, especially from the rural or kampung areas. For these people, the live a simple life. To get a husband to take care of them and have a family of their own. No matter how hard their life is, these women still stay strong. Where these people pandai say "I want a divorce"!?

Cultural upbringing maybe?

I totally agree with Kress. Most likely those people who wants to walk out of a marriage are already dead. Heads chopped off :D

And there was also a st***d thing that burns the widow with the dead man :eek:

Not forgetting, married woman in middle east must totally submit to their husband and his family. They are tortured to break them down to be obedient. Divorce is totally unheard of.

Aren't we lucky to be staying in Malaysia. If we fight with our husbands, either they sleep on the couch. Or we have the luxury of staying a few days alone in a hotel :D

Or, we'd send them home to their moms :D

[lilifjp]

Alamak, cannot send them back to their mom. :eek:

Mother In Law always fan fire. :D The whole In-Law-Team will form a Family Court & find us guilty without trial. :D

No chance to debate our case/sob story & we get prosecuted :o

How absolutely true this statement is. Of course people change as they travel along the journeys of their lives but one thing which should remain constant and able to weather all times, good and bad, is true love.

[chin_wan]

^^ The only thing that is constant is CHANGE. ;-)

Anyway, stop hijacking this thread and discuss the topic posted. IMHO, I think divorce is not as common in Asia as they are in the US. Asians tend to view marriage vow more seriously so they are less likely to get a divorce. They will try to work things out rather than go the easy way out.

On the other hand, in the US it is common to divorce when things don't work out. Add that to the Hollywood style marriage, you get a recipe for failed marriage.
