Why divorce rate is so high in America even though they choose partner on their own & have nuclear families?

Why divorce rate is so high in America?

- They don't have arranged marriage system like in India,
- their parents don't force them into marriages,
- they have freedom to choose their partner on their own,
- they date their partners and get to know them before marrying them as opposed to India where there is widely arranged marriage system and most bride and grooms only get to meet few times before marriage and that too if parents permit,
- they don't have to live in joint families with groom's parents under same roof like india,
- they live in nuclear families i.e. couple live seperately from biological families so that they have enough privacy,
- their biological families give them enough privacy and don't bother them like Indians,
- the partners mostly have a tendency to choose partner over biological families if issues happens,
- their parents and siblings (in most cases) don't dominate their marriage or don't interfere in their marriage like Indian parents and siblings,
- their in-laws (in most cases) are not as evil as in India and they don't dominate daughter-in-law and make her serve them like India,
- their husband don't consider wife as second class citizen like Indian husband who believe wife is just meant to take care of kitchen, kids and his old parents,
- I guess most women don't have to face domestic violence like Indian women has too (and if they face then atleast not as worse as Indian women),
- they have too many facilities in their country, and many more
but despite of that their divorce rate is as high as 50%, half of their population don't even marry and prefer live-in relation, but those who marry even in that 50% divorce rate despite this much facilities and freedom, the biggest freedom they have is their nuclear family system (they are not forced to live with biological family under same roof) and choosing their partner on their own without parents interference, and mostly no interference of parents or siblings in marriage, while in India divorce rate is max 1% despite so many issues & the biggest issue here is treatment of women (wives and daughter-in-laws) in marriage still divorce rate is lowest here, why?

Why do you keep asking this?

Since 2009, the US divorce rate is down over 20%.

TRY MORE READING AND LESS PREACHING.

Is definitely something to think about. I guess that, for one, we here in America don't always do any better picking our partner for ourselves than anyone else would do for us. But there is the other thing...and that is, that if we screw up, we're pretty much perfectly free to divorce. I suspect if women in India were also free to divorce some no good scumbag, they would also. So I guess the difference is, we just don't have to put up with it (nor do our men), and can put an end to it (multiple times, if we so choose)...that's why the divorce rate is higher.

Best wishes.

The divorce rate in the US is not significantly different from any other "Western" country - around 33%.
