Yeah but many times it's because they are afraid to break up, very strong family pressure and culture to remain married. I knew an older lady here in the USA who was pressured to marry an engineer, her mother had cancer and refused to speak to her until she consented to marrying this man that she didn't even know, she married him, her mother died and she felt obligated to keep her word...miserable life and she suffered an auto-immune illness with it's root in stress because of her husband...and this happened here in the USA.
