Lucifer - the adversary - is called the light bearer because his peaceful light engulfs the western world. The standard practice in western (Christian) civilization when it comes to divorce is as follows:
The wife can divorce her husband for any reason, and she is rewarded by getting primary custody of the children and wealth from her ex-master - the husband.
But what does the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob say about it? His law in the book of psalms is also called the laws of peace and perfection:
Exodus 21:5
“If you buy a Hebrew slave, he may serve for no more than six years. Set him free in the seventh year, and he will owe you nothing for his freedom. 3 If he was single when he became your slave, he shall leave single. But if he was married before he became a slave, then his wife must be freed with him.
4“If his master gave him a wife while he was a slave and they had sons or daughters, then only the man will be free in the seventh year, but his wife and children will still belong to his master. 5 But the slave may declare, ‘I love my master, my wife, and my children. I don’t want to go free.’ 6 If he does this, his master must present him before God. Then his master must take him to the door or doorpost and publicly pierce his ear with an awl. After that, the slave will serve his Master for life.
So if a wife decides to leave her husband - not only is she commanded to stay un-married (no sexual relations with any other man), but she also does not get to keep any children that came from that marriage. And she most certainly does not get any of the man’s wealth.
Divorces would collapse and wives would carry their cross/stake and stay with their husbands. Husbands would have more peace and be able to grow their households without having to worry about snakes in their garden.
