I asked a couple of Jewish friends recently if they know any Jews who have got divorced. I don't know what the stats are, but I can only assume it is way under the national average.
When you're Jewish, being an absent father means you're stuck at the office working on a complex litigation case.
Is there a particular stigma to divorce? Because the removal of that is what's really sent divorce rates rocketing in the west.
Yes, but almost entirely culturally driven. Jews don't tend to move far from their parents and remain emotionally wedded to them by virtue of seeing them so often. As a result the parents are consulted (or offer an opinion uninvited) on everything, from house purchases to the schools you send your kids to. You don't wanna be the Jew that has to tell your parents you're getting divorced.
There's other factors at play, obviously, but this is certainly an important one.

Also, I suppose in relatively close-knit communities, you'd be forever seeing your ex and former in-laws. No-one wants that.
My missus and I are a pretty text book example of the differences. Her: non-jewish, mum lives 2 hours away, sees her a few times a year, dad fúcked off decades ago and lives in America. Me: mum and dad both within a 25-minute drive and see us Every. Fúcking. Weekend.
Obviously she doesn't mind this at all and it causes absolutely no friction. Ohhhh no.

Yes, mere numbers are something of an issue, aren't they. Even I am practically catching you people up single-handedly
"Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.

And quite right too....
Extinction, you'd think? After all, that must be fairly stigmatic. There's not really the numbers to take such matters so lightly.
