Parsi divorce data
In Parsiana you give figures about births, marriages and deaths in the Parsi Irani Zoroastrian community.
I would request you to publish figures of divorces as well, covering Parsi males married to Parsi females, Parsi males married to non-Parsi spouses and Parsi females married to non-Parsis. This will give an idea as to which combination leads a happy married life.

Several years ago Parsiana approached the Family Court requesting we be permitted to access the number of divorces between Parsis married to non-Parsis. Our request was turned down by the Court. Traditionally interfaith marriages or marriages between people of different nationalities are less prone to divorce as the couples have had to bear considerable resistance to their union.
