* And the Pharisees came to him , trying him , and saying , Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause ? * And he answering said , Have ye not read , that he who made them at the beginning , made them male and female ? * And He said : "For this cause shall a man leave father and mother , and cleave to his wife ; and the two shall become one flesh ." * So they are no longer two , but one flesh . What therefore God joined together , let not man put asunder . * They say to him , Why then did Moses ordain that a man may give his wife a writing of divorcement , and put her away ? * He saith to them , Moses , on account of your hardness of heart , allowed you m put away your wives ; but in the beginning it was not so . * And I say to you , Whoever putteth away his wife , except for fornication , and marrieth another , committeth adultery .
