Problem is, what I find online agrees with me. A man can just divorce, for any reason, at any time. Most but not all sources claim there's a waiting period, some allow instant divorce. Some sources claim it is "discouraged" to go this way.
A woman can ask an imam for a divorce, which then may or may not be granted. There needs to be a reason for the divorce. Most sources seem to indicate this is a fairly general right of people. The man can ask for the same process. The "police"/state can ask for it, at least in some countries/interpretations. Some family members can ask for it, or can ask for it to be denied. And it does seem there are plenty of interpretations of sharia that state it should be flat-out denied if a woman initiates it.
And then there's Shi'a islam, where a right to divorce exists, IF agreed to by the man and woman before the marriage.
So I don't see how what I said as a lie. A man can divorce a woman, a woman cannot (if I add "by herself", would that make you happy?). She can ask an imam to dissolve the marriage, and of course a number of American Imams seem to have started to blindly (not hearing both sides) grant them for a few dollars, which is very funny I must say. Still doesn't change matters.
