Contradiction with Matthew 5:32

Jesus' teaching on divorce suggests that only marital unfaithfulness is a valid reason for divorce, contrasting rules on remarriage.

Contradiction with Mark 10:11-12

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

Jesus declares remarriage after divorce as adultery, which conflicts with the allowance for remarriage in Deuteronomy 24:3.

Paradox #1

Deuteronomy 24:3 can raise moral questions about the treatment of women in marriage and divorce. It may seem inconsistent because it discusses a situation where a woman's status and acceptance can be impacted by decisions made by men, possibly reflecting an imbalance in gender roles. This could be seen as conflicting with modern views on equality and individual rights.
