      I think  the reason that the divorce rate in India is so much lower than that of America is because of freedom. What I mean by that is in India, it is required, most of time in India it's understood that once matched with a mate you are forever tied to that individual for the duration of your life. Where as in America, most married individuals understand that all though marriage is a sacred and respected institution. It is not a finite institution we as Americans have more marital freedoms that that of India more freedoms means less respect and thus, more divorces.

     I do not think that marriages should be arranged in America, or in any place for that matter. I do however think that having parental approval is important.
