From a purely Christian perspective, perhaps the answer lies in the Old Testament, except to the extent that Jesus actually said the Old Testament might no longer apply. In the Old Testament, the right of a husband to divorce his wife at any time and for any reason was absolute, but there was no circumstance in which a wife might divorce her husband. Some doubt exists as to social constraints on the husbands unfettered right, but The Bible says he could divorce his wife privately and with no need to consult the courts.
In fact, Christians form part of modern society and contribute to the development of secular laws and social mores. Modern laws place some reasonable constraints on divorce and give wives the same rights as men to seek a divorce. Since Christians have contributed to modern divorce laws and practices, these should now be the Christian perspective.
