Let me ask you point blank, do you have a genuine marriage?
 
If you do, then the option is still to focus on your marriage and build proper evidence together. If your wife visits you now, use that time to gather photos, family involvement, financial records, travel records, and other proof to show your relationship is real and ongoing. A short visit (multiple) will help, but ideally, spending more time together is what will really strengthen your case.
 
Divorce????? if you are really thinking it will be an easy fix it is absolutely not. it may create more red flags as people are suggesting here. 
 
If you don't then the premise to apply for any family based visa is null and void. 
 
I think you want to hear something from the community here, but unfortunately most of us will not give you any advice with are not per the law of the land.

Honestly, in the current situation your chances are very low. The best step may be for your wife to come live with you in Pakistan for some time so you can build enough proof before filing again. Pakistan is considered a high-fraud country, so cases here are always scrutinized more heavily.
 
It’s not the end of the world you can still succeed if you plan properly and build the right evidence.
 
Good luck for your upcoming journey.

That is irrelevant.  For your country, you need a LOT of time actually together as a married couple.  There is no other way.  I have seen cases denied for very little time together over such a long period.  She should consider moving to you.

If her green card is valid she can apply for SB-1 visa, I doubt that she will be issued that but there is no harm in trying. 
depending on the country and the airline, she can board with a valid green card for US and then plead her case at port of entry but I also doubt that she will be given entry. 
 
 
 
 
 

With an expired 10 year Green Card, she can board.  She will be allowed to enter....but could likely face an immigration judge.

From what I found in the USCIS Policy Manual, Vol. 9, Part C, and based on attorney experiences shared through reddit forums, denial rates for reentry permits are low and typically tied to fraud or failure to follow procedure. So yes, it’s generally worth bringing someone into the U.S. to apply, even after years abroad, if they still hold LPR status and can show ongoing ties (like filing U.S. taxes). The bigger risk lies with CBP at reentry and not with USCIS denying the permit, and I believe this is what other members are inclined in their responses as well.

(c) Ineligibility —
 
(1) Prior document still valid. An application for a reentry permit or refugee travel document will be denied if the applicant was previously issued a reentry permit or refugee travel document which is still valid, unless it was returned to USCIS or it is demonstrated that it was lost.
(2) Extended absences. A reentry permit issued to a person who, since becoming a permanent resident or during the last five years, whichever is less, has been outside the United States for more than four years in the aggregate, shall be limited to a validity of one year, except that a permit with a validity of two years may be issued to:
(i) A permanent resident described in 8 CFR 211.1(a)(6) or (a)(7);
(ii) A permanent resident employed by a public international organization of which the United States is a member by treaty or statute, and his or her permanent resident spouse and children; or
(iii) A permanent resident who is a professional athlete who regularly competes in the United States and worldwide.
(3) Permanent resident entitled to nonimmigrant diplomatic or treaty status. A permanent resident entitled to nonimmigrant status under section 101(a)(15)(A), (E), or (G) of the Act because of occupational status may only be issued a reentry permit if the applicant executes and submits with the application, or has previously executed and submitted, a written waiver as required by 8 CFR part 247.
(d) Effect of travel before a decision is made. Departure from the United States before a decision is made on an application for a reentry permit or refugee travel document will not affect the application.
(e) Processing. USCIS may approve or deny a request for a reentry permit or refugee travel document as an exercise of discretion. If it approves the application, USCIS will issue an appropriate document.
(f) Effect on proceedings. Issuance of a reentry permit or refugee travel document to a person in exclusion, deportation, or removal proceedings shall not affect those proceedings.
(g) Appeal. Denial of an application for a reentry permit or refugee travel document may be appealed in accordance with 8 CFR 103.3.
