the argument, that having kids a few years after marriage is somehow better because then you know each other and whether the marriage will last, is such garbage. Which part of the world is the divorce rate the highest? In the west right? They know each other quite well before marriage. Yet this doesn’t seem to stop them from divorcing with or without kids. If you are going to divorce, you will do so whether you had kids 5 years after marriage or right after. It really depends on the two people involved and how much they are willing to compromise.

Saudi Arabia is right up there with a divorce rate comparable to the USA (around 60%) so this whole east v west, love v arranged thing when it comes to ‘successful’ marriages is a myth (and one that desi aunties esp love to throw around lol) and as has already been pointed out lower rates of divorce in countries like India and Pakistan tend to have a lot to do with social stigma, dependency on the husband etc. as much as anything else..
