3And certain Pharisees came to him, testing him, and saying, Is it right for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
4And he said in answer, Have you not seen in the Writings, that he who made them at the first made them male and female, and said,
5For this cause will a man go away from his father and mother, and be joined to his wife; and the two will become one flesh?
6So that they are no longer two, but one flesh. Then let not that which has been joined by God be parted by man.
7They say to him, Why then did Moses give orders that a husband might give her a statement in writing and be free from her?
8He says to them, Moses, because of your hard hearts, let you put away your wives: but it has not been so from the first.
9And I say to you, Whoever puts away his wife for any other cause than the loss of her virtue, and takes another, is a false husband: and he who takes her as his wife when she is put away, is no true husband to her.
