    OR they come from a culture that does arranged marriages and you are being anti-theist and unintentionally culturally insensitive.

    You are aware that arranged marriage is a thing still, right?

      Most countries where arranged marriages are still a thing so have that backwards religious view on divorce though.

        When you actually sit down and talk to people in these marriages they tend to be content.

        Your suggestion that another culture or religion is “backwards” is a very awkward claim to make as those rarely come from a good place.

          I’m not suggesting another cultuur or religion is backwards, only that their views on divorce often are. The result of these views often is that women get stuck in abusive marriages and have no way to get out. I know people who are in arranged marriages. Some of them are happy, but the ones that are not are stuck.
