Can a husband have grounds for divorcing his wife under Jewish law if she spends time with other men if adultery cannot be proved ?

If a husband cannot prove adultery but has warned his wife about spending time with other men it may be possible for him to get a rabbinical court to order his wife to accept a divorce . Under Jewish law if two witnesses give evidence about hearing the husband warning his wife not to go to a ‘hidden place’ with another man then grounds may exist for divorce if she disobeys .
