Not much room for human error in your black and white world is their?
Biggest effect of outlawing divorce would be to make live-in couples and illegitimacy the norm. People who are married tend to work a lot harder at making a relationship work than cohabiting couples, which is much better if their are children involved. However, you aren’t leaving much of a way out for people in a marriage that is utterly beyond redemption, short of murder or spousal abandonment....

Actually, it depends on how you look at it. I remember a certain army winning because their captain burned their ships. There is room for human error: it’s called accountability.
Getting married should be seen as jumping out of a plane with a parachute. And if something goes wrong, even due to human error, well, you suffer the consequences. The difference is that it is ordained by God.
The good news is that if you screwed up, the consequences only last a single lifetime, which the bible describes as a very short time indeed. It is still best to consider it seriously before one does it.

What out did God leave?
“However, you aren’t leaving much of a way out for people in a marriage that is utterly beyond redemption, short of murder or spousal abandonment....”
You are right. I saw a man spend over 50 years in a terrible, terrible marriage, all because he thought he would go to hell if he divorced. Instead he lived in hell and deprived his children of the pleaseure they would have derived from seeing him with a nice lady. Terrible.
