Christian women can get divorces

Catholics can't.

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.

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).
