(Online Dating Newsletter) One segment of online dating that has always drawn a niche interest is men looking for women to marry from other countries.  There are more than 100 dating sites exclusively aimed at helping men find women from countries like Russia to marry.  Independent company International Relations recently commissioned a survey to gather stats on the mail order bride industry and to see if the divorce rate among mail order brides was higher, lower, or the same as the U.S. divorce rate. The results were analyzed and compiled by Statistics Solutions.

The study found that the divorce rate among mail order brides was high, but still lower than the U.S. rate of divorce. According to the study, 41% of “cross cultural marriages” end in divorce where in the U.S. the divorce rate is 48%.

Other findings from the study include:

- 90% of mail order brides that were in failed marriages would try it again even though the first time failed.

-  For marriages that ended in divorce, the average length of marriage for mail order bride marriages was more than five years.
