Sorry, it isn't science it is statistics.

Moreover correlation is not causation.

People from traditional societies and/or religions tend to not cohabitate OR divorce. This fact will reveal a correlation between cohabitation and divorce, but is not in any way indicative that cohabitation makes divorce more likely.

The main point is not necessarily cohabitation per se. It is the amount of cohabitation and sexual partners.

According to the study women who have serial cohabitations or more sexual partners are more likely to divorce than the women who have only cohabitated with their husband or slept with their future husband before marriage.
