Deuteronomy 24:1-4

Laws Concerning Divorce

1“When a man takes a wife and marries her, if then she finds no favor in his eyes because he has found some indecency in her, and ahe writes her a certificate of divorce and puts it in her hand and sends her out of his house, and she departs out of his house, 2and if she goes and becomes another man’s wife, 3and the latter man hates her and writes her a certificate of divorce and puts it in her hand and sends her out of his house, or if the latter man dies, who took her to be his wife, 4then bher former husband, who sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after she has been defiled, for that is an abomination before the Lord. And you shall not bring sin upon the land that the Lord your God is giving you for an inheritance.

Jeremiah 3:1

1 cIf
Septuagint, Syriac; Hebrew Saying, “If
a man divorces his wife
and she goes from him
and becomes another man’s wife,
will he return to her?
eWould not that land be greatly polluted?
fYou have played the whore with many lovers;
and would you return to me?

declares the Lord.

Matthew 19:3

Matthew 19:7

7They said to him, iWhy then did Moses command one to give a certificate of divorce and to send her away?”

Mark 10:2-9

2And Pharisees came up and in order jto test him asked, k“Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?” 3He answered them, What did Moses command you?” 4They said, lMoses allowed a man to write a certificate of divorce and to send her away.” 5And Jesus said to them, “Because of your mhardness of heart he wrote you this commandment. 6But nfrom the beginning of creation, ‘God made them omale and female.’ 7 pTherefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife,
Some manuscripts omit  and hold fast to his wife
8and rthe two shall become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two but one flesh. 9 sWhat therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.”
