Yes, if a married woman has endless, long phone conversations with another man over a period of time this could well be divorce grounds for her husband, as her behaviour gives rise to suspicion that she is having intimate relations with this person. Under Jewish law a suspicion of intimate relations on the part of a wife is grounds for a husband to divorce her.
