DIVORCE

EXO 21:8 If she please not her master, who hath betrothed her to himself, then

shall he let her be redeemed: to sell her unto a strange nation he shall have no

power, seeing he hath dealt deceitfully with her.

EXO 21:9 And if he have betrothed her unto his son, he shall deal with her

after the manner of daughters.

EXO 21:10 If he take him another wife; her food, her raiment, and her duty of

marriage, shall he not diminish.

EXO 21:11 And if he do not these three unto her, then shall she go out free

without money.

DEU 21:14 And it shall be, if thou have no delight in her, then thou shalt let

her go whither she will; but thou shalt not sell her at all for money, thou

shalt not make merchandise of her, because thou hast humbled her.

DEU 24:1 When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass

that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in

her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and

send her out of his house.

DEU 24:2 And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another

man's wife.

DEU 24:3 And if the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of

divorcement, and giveth it in her hand, and sendeth her out of his house; or if

the latter husband die, which took her to be his wife;

DEU 24:4 Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be

his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before the LORD:

and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for

an inheritance.

EZR 10:3 Now therefore let us make a covenant with our God to put away all the

wives, and such as are born of them, according to the counsel of my lord, and of

those that tremble at the commandment of our God; and let it be done according

to the law.

EZR 10:11 Now therefore make confession unto the LORD God of your fathers, and

do his pleasure: and separate yourselves from the people of the land, and from

the strange wives.

JER 3:1 They say, If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and become

another man's, shall he return unto her again? shall not that land be greatly

polluted? but thou hast played the harlot with many lovers; yet return again to

me, saith the LORD.

MIC 2:9 The women of my people have ye cast out from their pleasant houses;

from their children have ye taken away my glory for ever.

MAL 2:14 Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because the LORD hath been witness between thee

and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously: yet is

she thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant.

MAL 2:15 And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And

wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your

spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.

MAL 2:16 For the LORD, the God of Israel, saith that he hateth putting away:

for one covereth violence with his garment, saith the LORD of hosts: therefore

take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously.

MAT 5:31 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her

a writing of divorcement:

MAT 5:32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for

the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall

marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.

MAT 19:3 The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him,

Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?

MAT 19:4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which

made them at the beginning made them male and female,

MAT 19:5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and

shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?

MAT 19:6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God

hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

MAT 19:7 They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of

divorcement, and to put her away?

MAT 19:8 He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts

suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.

MAT 19:9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be

for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso

marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.

LUK 16:18 Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth

adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband

committeth adultery.

1CO 7:10 And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the

wife depart from her husband:

1CO 7:11 But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to

her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.

1CO 7:12 But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that

believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.

1CO 7:13 And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be

pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.

1CO 7:14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the

unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean;

but now are they holy.

1CO 7:15 But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister

is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.
