Divorce Magazine Statistics
WHICH ETHNIC GROUPS IN THE USA HAVE THE LOWEST & HIGHEST DIVORCE RATES?
I have been told by Indian & oriental friends etc that whites & blacks have high divorce rates{true}.
While their groups still have relatively low divorce rates. I need website statistics, news reports, magazine articles, etc to prove to the nay sayers that this is true.
Present day "partnerships" do not conform to the traditional institution of marriage in the first place.
So, the statistics of - marriages Vs Live-in relationships Vs Single Parents is complex enough. Besides, rates of divorce can only be calculated as a percentage of legally valid marriages.
Since traditional cultures have a higher rate of traditional marriages, their divorce rates can show the rate of failure of MARRIAGES. But unorthodox cultures that stress a relationship more than a formal wedding, may have a greater number of failed relationships but it could never be statistically established.
I hope you get what I'm saying.
edit: I don't know why some people try to convince themselves and others that cultures where marriages last lifelong are necessarily unhappy marriages. Arranged vs non-arranged notwithstanding, a marriage is a marriage. Compatibility of backrounds can certainly serve to strengthen a bond, and compromise is often advocated for both - bride and groom. Yet it is not as if divorces do not occur at all in Indian cultures. But I do agree, it is not much encouraged.
Survival post divorce is just as much an issue as it would be in any other ethnicity..no less, no more.
All the "hassles" and checks that are carried out BEFORE the marriage, naturally mean fewer reasons to break up AFTER.
A failed marriage definitely ends in a divorce, even in traditional cultures. So attributing a lower divorce rate to a greater number of unhappy marriages is incorrect and unfair.
