Naturally, these are personal anecdotes. But I'm fairly certain the divorce rate is severely affected by scripture. I have seen a decent number of unhappy Mormon marriages in my admittedly short time. The individuals that divorced were usually not allowed on the premises or excommunicated. (Or whatever the more appropriate term is for cutting them off from the church without ceremony) There were people who were more afraid of divorce than anything else. Personal happiness was secondary.
