Deuteronomy 24:2-4
New English Translation

2 When she has left him[a] she may go and become someone else’s wife. 3 If the second husband rejects[b] her and then divorces her,[c] gives her the papers, and evicts her from his house, or if the second husband who married her dies, 4 her first husband who divorced her is not permitted to remarry[d] her after she has become ritually impure, for that is offensive to the Lord.[e] You must not bring guilt on the land[f] that the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance.
