Yep. Though, much like many things that benefit women and are hated by conservatives, it also benefits men.
No fault divorce benefits everyone but people who want to be married to someone even when that person doesn’t want to be married to them. It means that you don’t have to prove anything to get divorced, you just have to say “I don’t want to be married anymore”.
As someone happily married, I’m a lifelong advocate of making divorce accessible to everyone who wants one.
You are correct.
In addition to what others have already said, implementation of no-fault divorce laws has led to a dramatic decrease in reports of domestic violence. It's basically a "get out of a bad marriage free" card, the only people it doesn't benefit are abusive pieces of shit who want to use marriage as a prison for their spouse.
It's also classic "XYZ behavior that most people agree is not a preferable outcome is against our preferences, but instead of creating a safe and protective society that prevents people from ending up in bad situations in the first place we'll instead legislate the preference directly."
See: abortion, war on drugs, the entire carceral system, etc.
