Nothing wrong with divorce.
You are different than when you were 8, do you spend money the same way?
Two adults getting to know each other and knowing it wouldn’t work out should be able to get a divorce and not praised for suffering together for the sake of “religion “ or “culture”.
What a depressing world that would be

I think it opens the bigger question of: whats the point of marriage?
Historically, thru all cultures, Marriage was effectively a "kid contract". For that reason it makes lots of sense for society (at the insistence of women themselves) to have prohibitions against breaking the contract.
The decoupling of marriage from having kids is a relatively new invention.

Personally I don’t think marriage is even necessary, other than some clear implication in law.
Historically, marriage in many societies aren’t even between a couple, it’s a man with couple of women. We moved on from arranged marriage at birth, political marriage etc.
What more proof for true union is needed if two adults willingly to stay together, with minimum barrier to exit?

Don't judge any religion or culture based on what you actually see from outside. You mean that living together is a suffering while it's not. I'm living here and it's not depressing at all.
Secondly, IMO it's more depressing and a bigger suffering that two people who once loved each other and pledged a lifelong relationship, suddenly when their lust is over or may be because someone more attractive enters in their life, they get seperated.
Now say what a depressing world that would be? Living together is a suffering then divorcing can't be a boon, my friend!
