Augustine of Hippo, on Matt 5:31

“And it hath been said, whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a bill of divorce.”

“(de Fid. et Op. 16.) He also rightly puts away his wife to whom she shall say, I will not be your wife unless you get me money by robbery; or should require any other crime to be done by him. If the husband here be truly penitent, he will cut off the limb that offends him.”
