Deuteronomy 24:1-4

Listen to Deuteronomy 24:1-4
1 “Suppose a man marries a woman but she does not please him. Having discovered something wrong with her, he writes a document of divorce, hands it to her, and sends her away from his house.
2 When she leaves his house, she is free to marry another man.
3 But if the second husband also turns against her, writes a document of divorce, hands it to her, and sends her away, or if he dies,
4 the first husband may not marry her again, for she has been defiled. That would be detestable to the LORD . You must not bring guilt upon the land the LORD your God is giving you as a special possession.
