makes her commit adultery definition
makes her commit adultery. : Some say this means that by putting her away, her former husband causes her to be stigmatized as an adulteress. But we need to reject this view. Since adultery among the Jews was punished by death, I can’t see how the Jewish community would view a divorced woman as an adulteress. It seems that the fact she was put away proved that she wasn’t an adulteress. In addition, in light of the fact that the Pharisees view on this was so lax, it seems that the Jewish people really didn’t care about the state of put away women, since this wasn’t viewed as a big deal.
