You probably thought the Latino presence on our list would be Mexican, right?
WRONG.
Even though the data I used actually placed Mexico high in our ranking of best places for an American to find a wife in the world, let’s not forget those were pre-Trump stats (oh, the good old days!). I could get no concrete information on the recent years, but it would be totally hypocritical to label an American marrying a Mexican in 2017 as “easy”, so I had to -ironically- leave them out.

The divorce took a long time to settle in, but not as long as gender equality. In fact, this concept was practically inconceivable until 50 years ago. Take this as an example: “in the United States, marital rape was legal in many states until the 1970s, and women often could not open credit cards in their own names.” Moreover, if someone killed or injured your wife, you could sue the person responsible for dispossessing you of “services around the home”. If a husband got killed, wife’s would just have to suck it up (literally, even, if things got really bad).
