Deuteronomy 24:3-5
Lexham English Bible
3 and then the second man dislikes her and he writes her a letter of divorce and places it into her hand and sends her from his house, or if the second man dies who took her to himself[a] as a wife, 4 her first husband who sent her away is not allowed to take her again[b] to become a wife to him after she has been defiled,[c] for that is a detestable thing before[d] Yahweh, and so you shall not mislead into sin the land that Yahweh your God is giving to you as an inheritance.
5 “When[e] a man takes a new wife he shall not go out with the army, and he shall not be obligated with anything;[f] he shall be free from obligation, to stay at home[g] for one year, and he shall bring joy to his wife that he took.
