Divorce
EXO 21:8 If she does not please the master who has selected her for
himself, he must let her be redeemed. He has no right to sell her to
foreigners, because he has broken faith with her.
9 If he selects her for his son, he must grant her the rights of a
daughter.
10 If he marries another woman, he must not deprive the first one of her
food, clothing and marital rights.
11 If he does not provide her with these three things, she is to go free,
without any payment of money.
DEU 21:14 If you are not pleased with her, let her go wherever she wishes.
You must not sell her or treat her as a slave, since you have dishonored
her.
24:1 If a man marries a woman who becomes displeasing to him because he
finds something indecent about her, and he writes her a certificate of
divorce, gives it to her and sends her from his house,
2 and if after she leaves his house she becomes the wife of another man,
3 and her second husband dislikes her and writes her a certificate of
divorce, gives it to her and sends her from his house, or if he dies,
4 then her first husband, who divorced her, is not allowed to marry her
again after she has been defiled. That would be detestable in the eyes of
the LORD. Do not bring sin upon the land the LORD your God is giving you as
an inheritance.
EZR 10:3 Now let us make a covenant before our God to send away all these
women and their children, in accordance with the counsel of my lord and of
those who fear the commands of our God. Let it be done according to the
Law.
11 Now make confession to the LORD, the God of your fathers, and do his
will. Separate yourselves from the peoples around you and from your foreign
wives."
JER 3:1 "If a man divorces his wife and she leaves him and marries another
man, should he return to her again? Would not the land be completely
defiled? But you have lived as a prostitute with many lovers-- would you
now return to me?" declares the LORD.
MIC 2:9 You drive the women of my people from their pleasant homes. You
take away my blessing from their children forever.
MAL 2:14 You ask, "Why?" It is because the LORD is acting as the witness
between you and the wife of your youth, because you have broken faith with
her, though she is your partner, the wife of your marriage covenant.
15 Has not the LORD made them one? In flesh and spirit they are his. And
why one? Because he was seeking godly offspring. So guard yourself in your
spirit, and do not break faith with the wife of your youth.
16 "I hate divorce," says the LORD God of
covering himself with violence as well as with his garment," says the LORD
Almighty. So guard yourself in your spirit, and do not break faith.
MAT 5:31 "It has been said, 'Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a
certificate of divorce.'
32 But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital
unfaithfulness, causes her to become an adulteress, and anyone who marries
the divorced woman commits adultery.
19:3 Some Pharisees came to him to test him. They asked, "Is it lawful for
a man to divorce his wife for any and every reason?"
4 "Haven't you read," he replied, "that at the beginning the Creator 'made
them male and female,'
5 and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be
united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh'?
6 So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined
together, let man not separate."
7 "Why then," they asked, "did Moses command that a man give his wife a
certificate of divorce and send her away?"
8 Jesus replied, "Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your
hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning.
9 I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital
unfaithfulness, and marries another woman commits adultery."
LUK 16:18 "Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits
adultery, and the man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
1CO 7:10 To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife
must not separate from her husband.
11 But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her
husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife.
12 To the rest I say this (I, not the Lord): If any brother has a wife who
is not a believer and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce
her.
13 And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to
live with her, she must not divorce him.
14 For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife, and
the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through her believing husband.
Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy.
15 But if the unbeliever leaves, let him do so. A believing man or woman
is not bound in such circumstances; God has called us to live in peace.
