    No, divorce is a taboo in all 3 groups and is seen as a personal failure to be unable to maintain a marriage. On the flip side there is a degree of unhappy marriages that persist because remarrying is not really possible if you stay in the community. Leaving the community means being shunned and that is pretty horrible.

    All 3 tend to have big families, because they come from big families. The Amish and Mennonites need the labor, Mormons just want to go forth and prosper.
