I do not deny that Americans probably are #1 (world cahmpions) in this area (divorce) too. But there are very significant % of marriages which are quite traditional (conservative). The level of tolerance no doubt among people here in matter relating to private affairs is low. I don't think that it is proper to generalise. Do you know the even among Indian couples in US. the divorce rate runs to about 10 to 15%. We Indians are catching up real fast with our amercian friends in this aspect. *** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MESSAGE ***
