Well, because there is faaaaaaaaaaaaar more prejudice when divorcing in India!

If you were in the West 100 years ago, it was the same.

Now in the US and Europe a woman is not looked down upon if she is divorced, as she can happily remarry.
She can also claim costudy of her children.

In India, if she divorced, she would rarely remarry, she would be looked down upon and the children would go to the father.

I hope this answers your question!

Answer 2

Some people are not so lucky.I had to wait 10 years to get my divorce.In America,our hearts are so full of love that as soon as we get divorce,we fall in love again.In most cases even before our divorce we love some body else.We are great in distributing our love.There is no need to stay with same person for 25 or 52 years.

Answer 3

We're just luck., would you want to stay with the same woman that long?

Answer 4

In India, you marry till death apart you because this is not only sex. This one includes getting into long lasting relationship by marriage. You are entering into inner core of family. Perhaps, old timers like Manmohan Singh, Amitabh Bachan, Mukesh of Reliance can explain you better. Could you see marriage in family to which you belong? May be in America, young people are impatient and restless relating marriage to sex only and ending the marriage faster. May be in America, old timers in earning money to provide comfort to kids in future almost separated children so that childeren of America is growing on fast food technology.

Do you have family?

Let all know more about to family to which you belong and about marriages in family to which you belong.

Answer 5

Because indian's are taught from the childhood to be patient and understanding. Indians believe there is only one woman for a man. Indian's think if we were the only two on th earth and there is no body else to go to then how we would have managed. Indian's think if there is something wrong in the house then fix it instead of destroying (or bulldozing) it and re-creating a new one until and unless there is noway to fix the house. Indian's value marraige more than house and money. This may not be true for all the Indians but typically this is the scenario. I want to tell the entire world be honest and human - nothing will fail. Just look for the ways to be happy (without making anyone unhappy) and give happiness to others as much as you can. Learn to sacrifice if needed for the benefit of others. Writing this does not mean that I as an author believe that american's marraige life is 7 years.

Answer 6

i don't know where you got your figures at either and don't doubt them at all.
in India, most marriages are arranged. in America, they are not.
my best, educated guess would be that when you have your spouse chosen for you it leaves you with two choices-
1. you either marry that person and stay with them until your arranging parties are dead and don't know that you didn't appreciate the choice they made for you. you would be married for LIFE otherwise, not just 25 years
OR
2. you stay with them because you are afraid not to (whether they are wealthy, domineering or you will lose the inheritence)
In America, people are allowed to choose whomever they believe they want to spend the rest of their life with. these people usually are young and don't really realize that they have married in haste, the other person is not whom they thought they were. there are more temptations here...we are free to do whatever we want and sometimes what you want warrants a divorce...we find out about the cheater quicker here in America and the women are more aggressive than they are in India...women have the same rights here as the men

Answer 7

The culture in India is completely different to the culture in America, and this make the difference. In India, there is less money but a greater spiritual respect, and because of this family and relationships become the focus in life.
In America the focus is more on Money and accumulation of wealth, and less spiritual respect, and because of this the business, spending time working, and then having a second job, erodes into spiritual and family life.
I am just generalizing, however, the cultural differences are decidingly different, and so the emphasize on spiritual connection and family is different. Therfore, families in India stay connected, and families in America grow in a different pattern that is due to a environment of pressure.

Answer 8

Traditions,customs and feelings are different.In India marriage is a holy relation of two personalities for ever.In other countries it's a mere contract for the fittest period to suvive till some better offer.

Answer 9

B/c ppl get married in India, do it for different reasons. and stay married in spite of abuse, cheating whatever

Also, how do you come up with your numbers?

Answer 10

i agree with corrie

Answer 11

Lots of marriages in the US last longer than 7 years. My dad and real mom 14, dad and step mom 10, grandma and grandpa 50, honestly while some marriages may last 7 years there are tons that last a lot longer. And these are all so far except for the first one. Because these people are still married.

I could continue to name off many American couples I know that have been married for much longer than 7 years. I celebrate my 6th anniversary in just a few days and I sure as heck don't plan on getting divorced anytime.
