Divorce
From BibleWiki
(Redirected from Divorcement)
The dissolution of the marriage tie was regulated by the Mosaic law (Deut 24:1ff). The Jews, after the Captivity, were reguired to dismiss the foreign women they had married contrary to the law (Ez 10:11ff). Jesus limited the permission of divorce to the single case of adultery. It seems that it was not uncommon for the Jews at that time to dissolve the union on very slight pretences (Mt 5:31f; Mt 19:1ff; Mk 10:2ff; Lk 16:18).
