> countries with the most stable marriages tend to be ones in which arranged marriages are much more common

These also happen to be countries where women have terrible economic prospects and divorcees are treated as social outcasts. I happen to live in such a country and from what I can tell, people in miserable marriages stay married because of external pressures.

I can only imagine people glorifying such an arrangement are either ignorant of the ground reality or are outright deranged.

It’s the same as “wet streets cause rain” which if you say to people, they immediately object and then proceed to make the equivalent logical flaw moments later.
