Mark 10:12

And if a woman shall put away her husband,— Though it is certain that the Jewish law did not put it in a woman's power to divorce her husband; yet it is plain from Josephus, that it was done, not only by several ladies of distinguished rank, but even that his own wife did it, having probably learned of the Roman women, who, in this age, are known to have practised it in the most scandalous manner. See Juv. Sat. 6. ver. 222, &c. Compare 1 Samuel 25:44. 1 Corinthians 7:13 and Lardner's Credibility, part 1: vol. 2 p. 890.
