Deuteronomy 24:1

Law Concerning Divorce

1 “When a ^aman takes a wife and marries her, and it happens that she finds no favor in his eyes because he has found some¹ uncleanness in her, and he writes her a ^bcertificate of divorce, puts it in her hand, and sends her out of his house,

2 when she has departed from his house, and goes and becomes another man’s wife,

3 if the latter husband detests her and writes her a certificate of divorce, puts it in her hand, and sends her out of his house, or if the latter husband dies who took her as his wife,

4 ^athen her former husband who divorced her must not take her back to be his wife after she has been defiled; for that is¹ an abomination before the Lord, and you shall not bring sin on the land which the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance.

Miscellaneous Laws

5 ^a“When a man has taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war or be charged with any business; he shall be free at home one year, and ^bbring happiness to his wife whom he has taken.

6 “No man shall take the lower or the upper millstone in pledge, for he takes¹ one’s living in pledge.
