Divorce rate among foreign-born Pakistani-Americans with children is the third lowest of all immigrants in the United States, according to research recently published by the US-based Institute of Family Studies. Foreign-born Indian-Americans' marriages tend to be the most stable, followed by those of Bangladeshis and Pakistanis living in America. On the other end of the spectrum, the divorce rates among immigrants from Latin-America are the highest of all ethnic groups.
Immigrants from Taiwan, Korea, China, and Japan, also have greater family stability than native-born Americans, as do immigrants from the Middle East and South America, according to the IFS report. Here’s the list of top 20 immigrant groups in the US leading in marriage stability:
1. India - 94%

3. Pakistan - 87%
4. Taiwan - 86%
5. Korea - 85%
