Not 100% sure about the church’s position on divorce.

It is beyond dispute the rampant divorce and the consequential breakdown of the family over the last 50 years has been a disaster that has profoundly negative effects on both society and the families of divorced spouses.

Perhaps the solution is to make divorces harder to get but make annulments easier for valid cause to allow people in profoundly bad marriages to rebuild their lives after divorce.

IMHO, the operative principle should be that the abuser desecrated and abandoned their marriage through the act(s) of abuse.

The devil, however, is in the details, specifically the definitions of those terms. For example, active physical aggression is directly verifiable, while the very nature of passive mental and emotional aggression is not.

Isn’t it true that whoever divorces his wife and marries another, commits adultery against her?
