Divorce

Though the Torah gives few procedural details, under certain circumstances, it does allow for divorce. The laws of divorce are developed in detail throughout the rabbinic period and in later halakhic literature. To this day, rabbis and Jewish leaders continue to grapple with the intricacies and consequences of these laws. And in that marriage is an oft-used metaphor for the relationship between God and the Jewish people, so too does divorce appear as an oft-rejected possibility.
