This was of ten put forward

The context:
"In view of the high rate of divorce, this was of ten put forward as a reason for avoiding marriage". Can anyone clarify the meaning of "ten put forward".
Thanks. Braza

Remove a space and it becomes clear. "This was often put forward."

Braza, as I read it, there were ten reasons put forward for avoiding marriage, and the high rate of divorce is but one of them. SR
