I also believe in the "arranged alliances" thing. I think that even happens now, a LOT. I suspect many hollywood marriages are arranged alliances and I also suspect that in politics. Obama and his wife and Hillary and Bill. I suspect at the top levels marriage is more like a mutual pact for getting what you want and both cheat as long as they keep it on the down low.

With at least 50% divorce rate I really don’t see how that could be a social stigma in the US or Europe. If something effects half or more of the population I really don’t see how it could be stigma to be divorced? Perhaps depends where you live. No one cares where I am at
Cost of divorce in the US has nothing really to do with marriage. We are very litigious society hence anything “legal” costs ton of money.
