Deuteronomy 24:1: When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give [it] in her hand, and send her out of his house. [some...: Heb. matter of nakedness] [divorcement: Heb. cutting off]

These verses advise against separation and instruct a wife not to leave her husband, which contradicts Michal being taken from her husband Phaltiel and returned to David in 2 Samuel 3:15.
