mdd: I have seen those who claim (R’ Schachter quotes them) that those Dinim in the Gemara assume they were totally Frum coming in. It would be ridiculous for 2 non-Frum people to get married and then when he starts to become Frum (or dislikes her) he says he wants a divorce for free because she is not meeting the expectations for a Frum marriage. But the marriage was never Frum to begin with?! If he does not expect her to cover her hair when they get married, then he has no reason to suddenly expect it later.
