No idea what this means.

Alright I'm gonna stop you right here. It should be very clear that I meant you are free to divorce your partner and not end up financially ruined or socially stigmatised or outcast like you would in the past. The implication that divorce just means sadness and loneliness forever is really blinkered.

> high divorce rate is nothing to care about (societally)

You've used an interesting adjective here. How are you deciding that the current amount is "high"? How much is "normal" and how have you reached that conclusion? And what's the plan to reduce it to the normal amount once you figure out these numbers - stopping no-fault divorces so guys like Steven Crowder (who seems pretty pissed about the idea that his wife was allowed to leave him) can continue to abuse their spouses?
