I think Lior has some really great points.
In fact personally I’m aware of a pretty famous case where every Dayan involved was fully aware that there was no reason what so ever for her to demand a get.
In fact the Beis Din was in possesion of a letter she wrote right before leaving where she stated unequivically that the man in question was a “great husband”. She just decided she wanted something else in life. The husband then said fine, however he stated that he was not fine with the sutody arrangements and would withhold the get until it was arranged to his satisfaction.
In this case the Dayanim involved all agreed that from a Halachic standpoint there was absolutly no reason that he had to give a get.
Yet demonstrations were held in front of the mans house, and some Dayanim tried to come out with convulted reason swhey he was mechuyov to give the get even though halachically she was wrong!
I think the wider, underlying problem is that we as a society have absorbed a drop to much of the culture around us.
Even in America until recently there was no concept of a “no-fualt” divorce.
If you married and you committed to a relationship. You now had a responsibilty to maintain that relatonship, a responsibilty that was strengthened once children would come into the picture. If you wanted to end it you had to have a good reason to.
You could not just have “divorce on demand” and who cares about what it meant for the person you committed to.
