I’m not about to argue with a real “chassidish woman”, but explain to me why there is a “Shalom Task Force”, when it should be obvious (same for the more right/less worldly “yeshivish” world). Otherwise I agree with what you say. B”H women are able to get out of a bad relationship.

gavra, I have spoken about that very clearly in my post. Here’s what I wrote:

It’s not that simple for anyone, especially a woman to end an abusive relationship regardless from which community they are… These things happen in all communities and some recognize the abusive behaviour right away. For others there’s shock or the convincing of oneself that with time or the right intervention, it will work out, hence the prolongation of such a marriage.

I will not elaborate on this topic simply because people cannot really comprehend why some people need encouragement and help in ending an abusive relationship.

The question posed is why there is less divorce among one type of torah community, and I posited that the expectations of marriage are different (perhaps the chassidim are more “torah true”, I’m not saying its worse, just different). So far I have not been told or proven otherwise.

That is a true statement. I have written about that in my post.
