Obviously the people who cant refuse an arranged marriage cant possibly have the courage to talk abt divorce,
even if they r going through hell they try to compromise..
their whole life passes through like programmed robots with a perfect routine & a plastic smile..
but falling in love is a whole new beautiful experience.. even if they divorce after few yrs.. the memories they have r enough to last a lifetime.. they didnt get along so they got out.. which in a way is better than being tortured at a daily basis & pretending to be loyal & devoted..
basically at the end of the day its the freedom that count.. ppl who have it aranged barely know freedom..

Cultures that arrange marriages also tend to make divorce difficult.
People who marry for love also expect happiness, and they might leave when they get unhappy. In arranged marriages, happiness isn't considered a part of marriage.
Is an unhappy marriage successful, no matter how long it lasts (and even if one or both partners pursue relationships with other people)?
Staying together isn't necessarily a sign of a good marriage. It might only be a sign of the importance of marriage in a particular culture or religion.

I have a friend who was married through an arranged marriage. In her culture and family, that's just the way it was. I think their divorce rate is so low, aand this may be generalizing, but at least in her family divorce for her is simply not an option, without the tremendous high risk that she then would lose the respect from her own family, in fact, even being disowned by them completely. And that is HUGE. It's one thing to lose a spouse in the case of a divorce, but to lose a spouse and also lose the respect from your family and be disowned by them as well, would leave any person at their lowest possible level they could be, and so incredibly lonely without any support.

Arranged marriages are "arranged" by the families. I'm sure that the customs of those people don't allow for divorces, unless it is also agreed upon by both families. The "bride and groom" don't have too many choices in the matter.

Yeah "John" made a valid point , BUT
as one who has "been there , done that"
"Love" marriages, are mostly on "LUST"
basis, which last about 2yrs. Then u have
to TRY to become Friends as well .
With "Arranged" marriages, you WILL be
told what to expect / and is expected.
A bit like planning for a Holiday .....
Cheers ...

We are comparing apples with oranges here.
For example, in arranged marriages both bride & groom are obeying the wishes of their parents and are probably more sensitive in obeying the customs of their culture. Where as ‘in love marriages” do not follow the old customs of their culture or are in violation of their parents wishes and therefore are probably more radical in their thinking and habits, and therefore are more likely to follow a less conservative life style, (which may include divorse).

some aranged marriages work out more becuz of the pressure from both familias..... when you're always around it, sometimes it helps cuz of their influences. sumtimes you don't know any better. when you come to usa there is more talk and showing of divorce options. You can see it happen around you a lot. usualy the influences are harder to fight, and it then happens to alot of people. even with a lot of love from both sides, sumtimes its not enough to keep it going....

becaues not all love has the ablity to change or adapt.
Also, their are alot more factors keeping together a arranged marriage then a love one.

I read online that in a lot of arrnaged mariages, most women are afraid to say no and if they try to leave their husbands they end up being killed in some strange sorts of honor killings. maybe this explains why..
