I'm not sure what the divorce rules are in Japan, but even if they do require both parties to agree to a divorce there, it wouldn't work in a game. In a game, there has to be a way to divorce someone who has left the game entirely. (That consideration isn't entirely relevant to the type of situation that started this thread, but would be relevant if someone wanted to divorce their absent spouse in order to marry someone who is still around and playing.)
