Matthew 5:31 Douay-Rheims

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

Augustine of Hippo

A.D. 354–430 Patristic

(lib. 83. Quæst. q. ult.) If any affirm that the only fornication for which the Lord allows divorce is that of earnal sin, he may say that the Lord has spoken of believing husbands and wives, forbidding either to leave the other except for fornication.
