Matthew 19:7-9
American Standard Version
7 They say unto him, [a]Why then did Moses command to give a bill of divorcement, and to put her away? 8 He saith unto them, Moses for your hardness of heart suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it hath not been so. 9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, [b]except for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: [c]and he that marrieth her when she is put away committeth adultery.
