241 "When a man takes a wife and marries her, and it happens that 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 from his house , 2 and she leaves his house and goes and becomes another man's wife, 3 and if the latter husband turns against 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 husband dies who took her to be his wife , 4 then her former husband who sent her away is not allowed to take her again to be his wife , since e she has been defiled ; for that is an abomination before the Lord , and you shall not bring sin on the land which the Lord your God gives you as an inheritance .

Commentary on Deuteronomy 24:1-4
(Read Deuteronomy 24:1-4)
Where the providence of God, or his own wrong choice in marriage, has allotted to a Christian a trial instead of a help meet; he will from his heart prefer bearing the cross, to such relief as tends to sin, confusion, and misery. Divine grace will sanctify this cross, support under it, and teach so to behave, as will gradually render it more tolerable.
