Divorce
31“It has been said, ‘Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’Deut. 24:132But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, causes her to become an adulteress, and anyone who marries the divorced woman commits adultery.

There is controversy among Christians about whether sexual immorality is truly the only allowable reason for divorce. This verse seems obvious, but what about spouses that are abusive or totally neglect their family? I can't imagine telling a woman that she must stay in a situation where her husband beats her. The answer that Jesus gives is definitely from the perspective of a man. Does that have any bearing on leaving out abuse as a reason for divorce?
