That gives me the right to drivel on about this subject. I think William Loftus has hit the nail on the head with abovequoted paragraph. And that's better than hitting the nail on the thumb. I'd guess that about the same number of marriages in either system are 'happy'. The fact is that few people get divorced in India. Does that mean people are forced to work their problems out more? Or maybe just suffer more? Both? Answers on a postcard to The BBC, Bush House, Aldwych, London WC2.
