No-fault divorce saves lives, lots of them. In the US, women’s suicide rates went way down after it became possible to leave their abusers.

"states that adopted no-fault divorce experienced a decrease of 8 to 16 percent in wives' suicide rates and a 30 percent decline in domestic violence."

In the bad old days, you had to prove infidelity or sometimes lack of sexual ability in order to get a divorce. Being abused wasn’t sufficient unless some judge decided it was. (1/2)
