You cannot compare Indian traditions to American ones and draw any kind of parallels. The very mentality about everything is different. Society plays a huge role in how you should behave and what you should do. There is no such pressure in the States. Besides, you just said that remairrage is forbidden if you divorce, so once you are single again, you cannot uphold yourself to the social standard of being married in the future. Plus there is the whole thing of being disowned by your parents.
I would guarantee that if the social views on marries from America were brought over to India and given enough time to acclimate, the divorce rate would be comparable.
