Perhaps, but correlation doesn't imply causation.
It seems at least as plausible that the kind of people able to commit to higher education are more capable of committing to marriage. Or that lower divorce rates result in better outcomes for children, including those children getting more educated. Neither imply that education itself leads to lower divorce rates.
I'm also not sure how to reasonably discuss this, but there is a colossal gray area between "drive-through divorce" and "women must legally stay married to husbands who beat them." We should be able to acknowledge positive results of some cultural norms without presuming they are intrinsically linked to the worst edge cases.
