Joseph, trust me, your statement is totally 100% inacurrate… “Similarly a man has the right to refuse to give a Get if he wishes the marriage to continue.” The Beis Din will just say your wife has checked out of the marriage and it would be cruel not to give her the Get. Unfortunatley, the religious Jewish world has “gone divorce on demand.” Same as secular. The Jewish Press quoted a sage as to why Jews exchange gifts on Channukkah; which wasn’t our custom. The sage said because when you live with Christians for 1,000+ years, you adopt some of their customs. Same with our divorces I’m afraid. It’s definitely divorce on demand.
