Statistics also show less divorce and marriage strife when people don't rush into marriage.

Small sample size means extrapolation is very uncertain. If you pick one random person off the planet and extrapolate humanity from them, you might think there was only one or maybe as few as twelve total languages on the planet. There are thousands of unique languages.

Just because the data is true in one village doesn't make it better elsewhere. It might follow with greater divorce statistics if women in larger towns proposed to the men. The bigger the population difference, the bigger the uncertainty in the extrapolation. If you get 1% of the population, and extrapolate, your conclusions will be much worse then if you get 50% of the peoples data before extrapolating.

It is a nice idea though, and certainly meant with the noblest of intentions.

Little village, if you divorce then no one else and you're alone.
