prepare a legal document and likely to consult the elders, the Law gave him time to reconsider such a serious decision. The intent of the Law was evidently to prevent rash divorces and to provide women with a measure of legal protection.

The first-century historian <a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1001070619/0/0">Josephus</a>, himself a divorced Pharisee, suggested that divorce was allowable “for any cause whatsoever (and many such causes
