The Torah reveals that 74 of the 613 mitzvot are in the Ki Tetzeh section. These include the following: the laws of a beautiful captive; the inheritance rights of the firstborn; the wayward and rebellious son; burial and the dignity of the dead; the return of a lost object; sending away the mother bird before taking her young; the responsibility of building a security fence on the roof of one's home; and the various forms of kilaim (forbidden hybrids between plants or animals).
Is divorce by the will of HaKadosh BaruchHu? If a man marries a woman and subsequently finds her displeasing to him due to a perceived fault, he may issue her with a certificate of divorce, which he must then present to her and instruct her to leave his house. If she then goes to another man and becomes his wife, the second husband may issue her a certificate of divorce, which he must present to her and instruct her to leave his house. However, if the second husband also hates her and issues her with a certificate of divorce, she may not then be taken back by the first husband, as this would be an abomination to the Lord. If a husband divorces his wife by issuing her with a certificate of divorce, placing it in her hand and sending her out of his house, or if the latter husband who took her to be his wife dies, it is not lawful for the first husband who sent her away to take her as his wife again. This is because she has been despised, which is an abomination to the Lord. It is not permitted to bring sin upon the land the Lord your Elohim is giving you as an inheritance. (Devarim 24:1-4) The Torah reveals that HaKadosh BaruchHu views marriage as a lifelong loving covenant, and physically manifests the mystery of His Oneness (Echad). Therefore, it is concluded that it should only end when one of the spouses dies (1 Corinthians 7:39). It is important to consider the sacred nature of marriage and its role in our lives. As the firstborn sons, we have a responsibility to ensure that we do not take the dissolution of marriage lightly.
