“MW13 is spot on. How can we say divorce is too high when no one states or even estimates what the divorce rate is? From personal expereince, I believe the divorce rate in the frum community is around 5-6%.”
I wonder what the rate is. It would be hard to do an accurate statistic, because how would you figure it out? The numbers are probably very different for people who are currently in their 40’s or older and people who are in the 20’s.
Also, within the Frum community, there are so many communities, and the numbers may be very different within different communities.
5-6% sounds really high. I don’t think that is true of the people I know personally.
