Couldn't agree more. Just have a look at the court records of the Ottoman Empire from hundreds and hundreds of years ago. There you'll find tons of divorce cases (a lot of them initiated by women) for reasons as vague as today's "irreconcilable differences" to more specific reasons such as broken promises (with regards to mahr or property for example). And in every case, the khadis - the religious judges - granted the divorce.
CB, I think the reason your posts struck a nerve is what appears to be a seemingly unforgiving point of view.

and no matter how sorry a state they are in , they are not worth my attention. specially when their actions were so against Allah's word
...hamare khiyal nai miltay etc " or " my inlaws were difficult people and I couldnt survive anymore ".. then apologies but they are just very materialistic individuals and should be denounced ...
they are not valid cases for divorce .. it clearly shows that an individual doesnt have the patience or motivation to deal with human relations and sensitivities of life

Zaynab bint Jahsh was Umm ul Mumineen. As Muslims we are supposed to give her the same reverence as we would our own mothers. But she divorced Zayd with the Prophet's (PBUH) permission precisely b/c her "khiyal" weren't in accordance with Zayd's nor Zayd's with hers.
Like many here have said, you can't say whether a divorced person has gone "against Allah's word" or that this person "should be denounced." That is for Allah to decide, not us mortals. And regardless of how well we think we know the situation, there is no way to tell anything for sure unless we're in the shoes of that person who had to suffer through the divorce.
