Dear brothers and sisters,

Straits Times come out with statistics to accuse our malay brothers and sisters for short gun marriages and increase in divorce rates.

Being a multi racial country, why must straits times be so racist to show statistics to tarnish Malay / Muslim reputation in Singapore? can we charge straits times for seditious? what do u think?


More Muslim marriages ending before five years

PEOPLE married for five to nine years made up the largest group of divorcing couples in Singapore in the past two decades. But Muslim couples are bucking this trend and splitting up earlier. In the 2003 marriage cohort, for example, 14 per cent of Muslim marriages dissolved before the fifth anniversary, compared with 10.5 per cent who did so between the fifth and ninth year. This trend can be seen from the 1999 cohort onwards. For non-Muslim marriages in 2003, 9.2 per cent of couples broke up between the fifth and ninth year, while 5.1 per cent did so before the fifth anniversary. Those who work with divorcing Muslim couples say the trend could reflect how a greater proportion of Muslims marry young or remarry than non-Muslims.
