Divorce
“It hath been said , Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:”
Matthew 5:31 (KJV)
Commentary on Matthew 5:31
Jesus addresses the Law's provision for divorce (Deuteronomy 24:1-4), which Moses allowed because of hard hearts. But divorce was never God's ideal. The 'writing of divorcement' was meant to protect women from being abandoned without legal status, but men abused this provision.
