  • The divorce rate and ratio of infidelity are much higher among marriage partners in an affair.

the said facts are only valid on the society from which the research was carried out. the depencence of the investigated paramaters on culture,economic ability and religious ideology must be well defined in order to bring the general usefullness of the reported facts. take example of a Tanzanian society, the broader meaning of the investigated paramaters are quite different from the western ones.
unless more conditions have been defined about the type of society from which the investigation was carried out, the said "facts" remain to be speculative ones
