The Mosaic Law stated: “In case a man takes a woman... as a wife, it must also occur that if she should find no favor in his eyes because he has found something indecent on her part, he must also write out a certificate of divorce for her and put it in her hand and dismiss her from his house. ”
Hukum Musa menyatakan, ” Apabila seorang pria mengambil seorang wanita... sebagai istrinya, dan jika dia tidak mendapat perkenan di matanya karena ia menemukan sesuatu yang tidak pantas padanya, maka ia harus menulis surat cerai bagi dia dan menaruh itu di tangannya dan menyuruh dia pergi dari rumahnya. ”
