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. And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man's wife.
The necessity of polygamy, therefore, does not appear; yet when a man seduces a woman, it should I think, be termed a LEFT-HANDED marriage, and the man should be LEGALLY obliged to maintain the woman and her children, unless adultery, a natural divorcement, abrogated the law.
A writing of divorcement is made out, and the parties are free. Each retains his or her own property, and that earned during marriage is divided; only that the party claiming the divorce has to leave the house to the other that is the only penalty, and it is not always enforced, unless the house be joint property. As religion has nothing to do with marriage, neither has it with divorce.
Englishmen who have been accustomed to believe that the high standard of purity in English public life, as compared with what was supposed to be the standard in America, was chiefly owing to the divorcement of the two, are not altogether gratified at the change or easy in their mind as to the future.
"But she is married," I said, as the blood swirled deliciously in my veins. "Her husband will give her a bill of divorcement." "And what will become of him?" "He will marry the woman we have saved. And she, too, will win many souls." "But how know you?" I whispered, half incredulous. "So it is borne in upon me," said the Baal Shem, smiling. And so indeed after many days it came to pass.
Neither Liberal nor Conservative will care to incur the displeasure of the Queen and the implacable wrath of the English aristocracy both Whig and Tory by consenting to the political divorcement of Ireland, and to what would be regarded as the disruption of the empire.
Beza and Paraeus, it seems, had argued that the Mosaic right of divorcement given to the man had been intended rather as a merciful release for afflicted wives than as a privilege for the man himself. On this opinion Milton thinks it necessary to comment.
But at present, in his odd frame of mind, and its divorcement from piracy, he was content to smile his utter contempt of the French General. Not so, however, his captains, and still less his men. Resentment smouldered amongst them for a while, to flame out violently at the end of that week in Cartagena.
And, that all might be certified in due form, he called a notary and five witnesses to hear and attest the same as verily the solemn act and deed of Martin Luther, done in behalf of himself and all who stood or should stand with him. Rome persisted in forcing a schism, and this was Luther's bill of divorcement.
Antony, while he was at Athens, and doubtless at Cleopatra's instigation, sent a messenger to Rome with a notice of divorcement to Octavia, and with an order that she should leave his house. Octavia obeyed. She went forth from her home, taking the children with her, and bitterly lamenting her cruel destiny.
