356 - RE-MARRYING ONE'S DIVORCED WIFE AFTER SHE HAS RE-MARRIED
Deuteronomy 24:4 -- “Then her former husband who divorced her must not take her back to be his wife after she has been defiled; for that is an abomination before the LORD, and you shall not bring sin on the land which the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance.”
Contravention of this prohibition is punished by whipping.
The expression in the above-mentioned verse, after she has been defiled, constitutes the basis for the prohibition of a man’s having intercourse with his wife after she has committed adultery.*
