Joseph-and what is the proof for this? To those I have spoken to about this, it seems counter-intuitive…
one reason that there are less divorces by the chasidish sects is that it is not an option for them, and is “tabboo”. If they divorce, they are seen as “problematic” and so forth. The couples are more willing to put up with abuse and sticky marriages/ health or mental health issues to be able to put up a front for the world. By allowing the young men and women to go out on shidduchim, they see if they are compatible, rather then just listening to their parent’s wishes even when they differ from the parents.
