Primary Verses:
-
Deuteronomy 24:1-4
-
"When a man hath taken a wife,
and married her, and it come to pass that she find no
favour in his eyes, because he hath found
some uncleanness in her:
then let him write her a bill of divorcement,
and give it in her hand, and
send her out of his house. And when she is
departed out of his house, she may go and be another
man's wife. And if the latter husband hate her, and
write her a bill of divorcement, and giveth it in her
hand, and sendeth her out of his house; or if the latter
husband die, which took her to be his wife; Her former
husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to
be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is
abomination before YHVH: and thou shalt not cause the
land to sin, which YHVH thy God giveth thee for an
inheritance."
Supporting Verses:
-
Matthew 19:7-9
-
"They say unto him, Why did
Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and
to put her away? He saith unto them,
Moses because of the
hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your
wives: but from the beginning it was not
so. And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his
wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry
another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her
which is put away doth commit adultery."
