As per dharma, there is no scope for divorce, AFAIK.
A woman comes under the protection of the kuladévatā of husband. Gets the gotra of husband
Even if (due to myriad of legit reasons), there is a separation, the saptapadi cannot be dhārmikally undone.
Legally - yes

The new family (post vivāha) is the rightful family. The (ritualistic) allegiance of the married woman is now to the kulāchāra, pitaras of new family. Doesn’t mean severance of emotional attachment to parental dévatā, pitaras and family - speaking about ritualistic position here.
After saptapadi, the new couple “ought to” propitiate paternal pitaras (first) - pitaras (of wife’s parent lineage) are propitiated after husband’s father-GF-GGF’s tarpaNa - many times it is optional.
It is husband’s pitaras and kuladévatā (if properly propitiated) that bless couple with children.
Husband is the medium through which Shruti-smriti based upāsanā of wife happens - whatever upāsanā (of any devatā except husband’s ishTadévatā) husband does, wife gets half of it.

One’s ishTa-dévatā is one’s real and truly personal deity which looks after adhyātmik tāpa of an individual- here husband and wife (and children) can have separate ishTa. But beyond the limits of body, everything is shared - either within the family, or clan or nation.
So any upāsanā of ishTa is personal. Any other upāsanā is shared.
If husband is wearing yajñopavita of wife for her, then it is logical she will get fruits from what husband does in nityakarma like sandhyā etc.

So what would a Hindu couple do (in absence of modern law) when each other’s company became insufferable?
They separated. Even after that, the separated wife still is “looked after” by the kuladevata.
Widow/divorcee Remarriage is a new concept in dharma (in its current form).

There cannot be a dhārmik (Shruti-smriti-purāNokta) justification for widow or divorcee remarriage.
So this is one lacuna in Hindu vivāha.
As per dharma, vivāha is a sanskāra. Not a contract. So there isn’t a “termination clause” in Hindu vivāha.

Similarly, there cannot be a LGBTQ vivāha as per dharma.
Dhārmik LGBTQ people can get registered as per prevalent “this-worldly” law of country and stay together.
They should continue their sādhanā of their ishTa dèvatā and complete this birth.

But lastly - dharma is sukshma.
Nobody can claim to know it all except dharmodadhi Shri vishNu.
Many of my friends (girls) have gotten divorced (bad choice first time), found a very good man, got married.

They follow kulāchāra of 2nd husband, assumed gotra of 2nd husband. Have good kids & leading a very dhārmik life
We all have to bear fruits of our (past) karma. If someone is fated to have this experience, I pray that they find trividhā-Shānti. Either with a new partner or alone

Who knows - perhaps that experience unlocked something in their antahkaraNa which enabled them to channel their chittavruttis to “get it right” the second time
May be a perfect yoga (of indriya-manas-buddhi-ahamkāra) with new husband (wife) formed the second time.

But These are exceptions. For every perfect second match there are many unhappy matches too.
These examples are not (and should not be) the rules.
