Would it really matter if one had a fanatical belief in the sanctity of marriage (using
your criteria), as long as it did not entail violence?

It could matter a lot. For example, in very religious sects it can force women (or men) to stay in emotionally destructive marriages because the sect leader refuses to allow any deviations from the marital state. I suspect that many peoples' lives have been damaged and left unfulfilled by the past (and maybe still present) fanatical opposition of the Catholic church to divorce.
