shmoel -“If I understand correctly, Halacha states (as we pasken) that a man can give a get for any reason.”
Where did you get the above from? Absolutely not! It’s not a Hefker Velt!
AC -“I stand to be corrected but I think the Gemoroh says that even if a wife mistakenly burns her husbands meal while cooking, he has grounds for divorce….”
Ok, since you’re standing I’ll correct you. While it does say that, s/o explains Pshat like this- What happened here? If she burnt both hers’ and her husbands’, so she doesn’t care about herself and him. In this case, there aren’t any grounds for divorce. If she burnt a meal meant for him and then takes it for herself and then makes another one for him, she’s a Tzaddeikes! The case were he’s allowed to divorce is like this -She made a meal either for herself or for both of them and then it burnt. She then makes another one for herself and gives him the burnt one!
