Interesting post...so SL figured in at #34? Not surprising given the rise in divorces back there in the recent years. However its not always easy for a Lankan woman to remarry. Nothing to do with religion though since Buddhism, Christianity,and Islam all permit remarriage for both men and women. The difficulty is due to the stigma attached to divorcees,specially those with kids, due to the lack of broadmindedness and biases in our societies. However Inshallah things seem to be improving since of late which is a relief. People are getting more streetwise and up to date..even the older generation. No longer are people willing to put up with messed up marriages due to social pressure. And many more are remarrying too!
