Marriage and Divorce in Biblical Context
�covenant 1. Marriage is a conditional covenant between two parties requiring faithfulness from both partners, and it cannot survive with only one covenant keeper.
🏛️ The Code of Hammurabi (1754 BC) shows that marriage was always a contract in ancient Mesopotamia, requiring a written agreement to be valid.
📜 In the Old Testament, a written bill of divorce is required, protecting the woman by authorizing her security and license to remarry.
Grounds for Divorce
👫 The Old Testament allows a wife to divorce her husband for lack of support, food, clothing, and sexual relations (Exodus 21:10-11), offering more protection than the Code of Hammurabi.
🚫 God hates divorce because it is "violence to the Covenant of marriage" (Malachi 2:16), viewing it as a punishment for a less than perfect marriage.
Divorce Consequences and Motives
⚖️ Divorce is seen as a punishment for selfishness and inability to work out issues, bringing both parties into a state of punishment.
🧠 A husband's jealousy and evil motives can make his divorce unlawful in God's eyes, even if outward grounds exist, emphasizing the importance of pure motives.
Historical Context
📚 The Torah corrected injustices in the Code of Hammurabi's marriage laws, providing a more perfect law for God's people.
