DEUT1182 The Talmud cites two instances in which the husband was denied the right of divorcing his wife. The first was the case described in the Bible [Deuteronomy Xxii. 13-19], when the accusation of pre-marital immorality brought by him against his wife proved untrue; the second was when he himself had seduced his wife before marriage. In that case, it was an act of justice that he should not be allowed to shame her by summarily dismissing her.
