That’s because [b]if your parents divorced, you’re less likely to feel like divorce is taboo, but if you come from a culture that really frowns on divorce[/b], then it doesn’t feel like an option no matter how miserable you are. That statistic doesn’t necessarily indicate that the quality of marriages are better among people whose parents have never divorced.[/quote]

What if you're both? I'm Indian, and my parents had an arranged marriage. They're divorced. Is it still a sign that I'm damaged and unmarriageable, because my mom chose to leave a marriage she was forced into as a teenager, to a man she didn't know? (I already know that the answer to that question from most Indian men is yes, which is why I don't even bother with them anymore).

What if you were forced to marry someone you didn't know, who turned out to be mentally ill, or gay and closeted, or morbidly obese, or (gasp) had divorced parents? Is the answer still "stick it out, or your kid is unmarriageable for life"?[/quote]
