Parents of daughters are more likely to divorce than those with sons

Not an ideal ending, as it negates the fundamental promises of the marital contract. However, it's two peoples' (plus kids maybe) lives at stake. Staying together in a dysfunctional marriage can damage all those lives (with downstream repercussions on even more people). In those circumstances, a divorce can lead to much healthier outcomes.

In those cases, is the tragedy that the marriage ended, or would the tragedy be if it remained?

> Staying together in a dysfunctional marriage

Who wants to have a dysfunctional marriage? That seems like a bad ending too

So we can add ‘dysfunctional marriage’ to divorce as undesirable outcomes of marriage
