Saying other communities have better or worse divorce rates doesn’t have anything to do with what I said.
It most certainly does. Showing that people in kollel don’t have a higher divorce rate than those not in kollel blows a huge hole in the theory that being in kollel causes divorces.
Showing that frum people who didn’t go to college don’t have a higher divorce rate than those who did blows a huge hole in the theory that not going to college causes divorces.
Same with meeting through a shadchan vs. in college or at a singles weekend.
If you didn’t have an agenda against kollel, not going to college, and meeting through a shadchan (which you basically mischaracterize as getting married purely based on resumes, i.e. an arranged marriage), why would you blame high divorce rates on them for no reason?
