Key Questions

International Relations posed several key questions for detailed examination by Statistics Solutions, as follows:
  1. What is the divorce rate amongst those in cross-cultural marriage and how does that rate compare to the US domestic (traditional) divorce rate?
  2. Of those divorced, how long did they remain in the marriage?
  3. Do One-Week-Wonder (OWW) marriages (courtship of 2 weeks or less) fail at a higher rate than those marriages that result from a longer courtship (courtship greater than 2 weeks)?
  4. For those only using International Marriage Brokers (IMB), do One-Week-Wonder (OWW) marriages (courtship of 2 weeks or less) fail at a higher rate than those marriages that result from a longer courtship (courtship greater than 2 weeks)?
  5. Is abuse (physical, verbal, or emotional) a significant contributor to divorce in cross-cultural marriage? Is there a gender difference on the contribution of abuse to divorce?
