It's the other way around. Marriage is a tool for survival in more parts of the world than where it isn't. People around the world have more miseries to care other than marriage. Immigration itself is a filter for education, wit, and wealth, and, sometimes, even physical fittness, and health. By the definition, if both husband, and wife pass that, that's a very rare, lucky marriage. Russia has huge divorce rates, but Russian immigration much lower. Russians marry late back in Russia, but in mid-twenties, and early twenties marriage is commong among people I met. There were probably more women from Russia I knew in technical occupations in the West than all other women in engineering I knew alltogether. Think of it, if you were a woman, and was from the start aiming at studying for long 6 years, having harsh early career, and enduring hardship of living as a recent immigrant, you wouldn't be getting a husband whom you need to pull.
