getzel1 who said “a husband from divorcing his wife who wishes to remain married to him.”
In that situation, in virtually all legal systems, including our own, it is too early to talk about divorce. If one spouse wants the marriage to survive, they need counseling, not lawyering.
Any competent legal system will wait until the spouse agree on the need to divorce, which usually doesn’t take long (either they decide the spouse opposing the divorce was right and they reconcile, or it becomes obvious to both that marriage is over).
The issues arise when one spouse (usually the man) is using the “get” as leverage to get a money or a better deal (typically involving custody). It is rarely over a desire for reconciliation.
