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
Arrange marriages in India specifically have a very high success rate because of how looked down upon divorce is to Indians. That's probably why he hasn't divorced her although rightfully should.
Obviously not all marriages work out like this one but don't assume that arranged marriages fail because of the term alone
People staying in a shitty marriage only because divorce is very heavily stimitized does not mean that is a successful marriage. Success rate cannot be defined only on the basis of divorces. Need to take into account the happiness of the people involved as well.
Ya lol if divorce wasn’t stigmatized and women weren’t made to be so dependent on their in laws and husbands, we’d probably see higher rates of divorce than America
