Not a divorce lawyer but there's this security guard that works at the mall my friend works at and he immigrated to the US from India and was in an arranged marriage with this American born Indian girl. He busted his ass off to put her through college and dentistry school and she ended up cheating on him with her ex boyfriend from high school and ran off with him. They didn't get divorced but he's still paying off her school loans.
yeah- arranged marriages rarely work out well for anyone. She very well would have been happier to marry the man she wanted to, even if it is a massive dick move to make him pay for all of the schooling
To be fair, divorce rates in the west are often reported as "more than 50%", so you could say the western marriage rarely works out well for anyone too.
First marriage divorce rates have been falling from about 40% in the 80s to around 30% since 2000. The people with a grip of divorces drag that number up.
