Isn't the low Indian divorce rate due to extreme cultural pressure to remain together and a court system that is extremely limiting in who can divorce, not an indicator that the marriages are happy or fulfilling?

I mean I just have my ideas, so maybe this isn’t correct, but I think Indians treat family relationships more like a single unit as opposed to US culture where everyone acts more like an individual (even people within a marriage) and finds reasons to prioritize going their own path. What you’re saying may have elements of truth too.

My N=1 experience is my relationship is very happy and fulfilling.
