It’s a marriage vow that includes pretty strong commitment. If you think that strong commitment is inherently bad, I think you should argue why you believe it to be bad.
Seriously, there is absolutely nothing about strong commitment being bad in my comment, or is there?
I think there are many marriages where one side defects (be it cheating, alcohol, abuse, …) and the other side has very good reason to get out and conversely there are many cases where it is advantageous for one side to hold on to the marriage long after things have gone south (for example for financial reasons).
That’s why I think allowing one side to veto divorce is a bad idea. Making divorce harder is very different from making it impossible.

Well, I don’t, so I don’t.
