highlighted Deuteronomy 24:1-4 ESV
"When a man takes a wife and marries her, if then she finds no favor in his eyes because he has found some indecency in her, and he writes her a certificate of divorce and puts it in her hand and sends her out of his house, and she departs out of his house,and if she goes and becomes another man's wife,and the latter man hates her and writes her a certificate of divorce and puts it in her hand and sends her out of his house, or if the latter man dies, who took her to be his wife,then her former husband, who sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after she has been defiled, for that is an abomination before the Lord. And you shall not bring sin upon the land that the Lord your God is giving you for an inheritance.

highlighted Matthew 19:3-9 ESV
And Pharisees came up to him and tested him by asking, "Is it lawful to divorce one's wife for any cause?"He answered, "Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female,and said, 'Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh'?So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate."They said to him, "Why then did Moses command one to give a certificate of divorce and to send her away?"He said to them, "Because of your hardness of heart Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so.And I say to you: whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery."

highlighted Malachi 2:14-16 ESV
But you say, "Why does he not?" Because the Lord was witness between you and the wife of your youth, to whom you have been faithless, though she is your companion and your wife by covenant.Did he not make them one, with a portion of the Spirit in their union? And what was the one God seeking? Godly offspring. So guard yourselves in your spirit, and let none of you be faithless to the wife of your youth."For the man who does not love his wife but divorces her, says the Lord, the God of Israel, covers his garment with violence, says the Lord of hosts. So guard yourselves in your spirit, and do not be faithless."
