2 And she shall depart out of his house, and go away, and may become another man's wife.
They shall not take as wife a whore, or a dishonoured woman; neither shall they take a woman put away from her husband; for he is holy unto his God.
A widow, or a divorced woman, or a dishonoured one, a harlot, these shall he not take; but he shall take as wife a virgin from among his peoples.
But the vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced, -- everything wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand against her.
And they shall not take for their wives a widow, nor her that is put away; but they shall take maidens of the seed of the house of Israel, or a widow that is the widow of a priest.
And he says to them, Whosoever shall put away his wife and shall marry another, commits adultery against her.
