Check out Contradictions Catalog of Deuteronomy 24:2 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Deuteronomy 24:2. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to Moses, if a woman leaves her husband's house, she is allowed to go and marry someone else. This means she can have a new family with another man.

Deuteronomy 24:2: And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man's [wife].

Contradiction with Matthew 5:32

This verse contradicts Deuteronomy 24:2 by teaching that divorcing one's wife causes her to commit adultery, whereas Deuteronomy 24:2 allows for a woman to remarry after being divorced.

Matthew 5:32: But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.

Contradiction with Mark 10:11-12

This passage contradicts Deuteronomy 24:2 by stating that remarriage after divorce is considered adultery, which contrasts with the freedom to remarry presented in Deuteronomy 24:2.

Mark 10:11-12: And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her.

Contradiction with Luke 16:18

It contradicts Deuteronomy 24:2 by asserting that marrying someone who is divorced constitutes adultery, in opposition to the permissibility of remarriage in Deuteronomy 24:2.

Luke 16:18: Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from [her] husband committeth adultery.

Contradiction with Romans 7:2-3

This passage suggests that a woman is bound by law to her husband as long as he is alive, contradicting Deuteronomy 24:2 which allows a divorced woman to marry another man.

Romans 7:2-3: For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to [her] husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of [her] husband.

Paradox #1

The contradiction in Deuteronomy 24:2 could be seen in the context of divorce and remarriage. While the verse allows for a divorced woman to remarry, other parts of the Bible emphasize the permanence of marriage and discourage divorce. This can create a conflict between the allowance for remarriage in this verse and the broader biblical teachings on marriage and divorce.
