Yea, I guess Orthodox canon law concerning marriage is a sort of three-strikes law (though it predates baseball by a good millenium plus). Actually, the rites for second and third marriages are increasingly penitential, and some of the Fathers regard third, and even second, marriage as tolerated concubinage, permitted by the Church only as a condescension to human frailty, rather than proper marriage.
