So then it's a matter of Catholics can't get religious divorces, which isn't really a women's rights issue so much as a Catholic rights issue. Comparatively, Israelis cannot get secular divorces (which is likewise an Israeli rights issue rather than specifically women's rights, though the court is somewhat hostile towards women).

They can get a legal divorce, of course, but it won't be recognized by the Church and they won't be able to have a second Catholic marriage.
