I guess like it or not, marriage in Qatar is just not working:

"Already, the divorce rate in the country is very high. Around 30 percent of the marriages here end in divorce and now, we have more and more women who opt not to marry. I’m not saying it’s a bad thing for women not to marry, but these are things that, in the end, will affect our society and the family unit."

Something must be fundamentally wrong with the way families approach the idea of marriage if so many marriages end so poorly.

From the way a lot of people are talking in this thread, you could get the impression that Muslim marriages are a pathway to domestic bliss, whereas western marriages are shams.
