    1If a man marries a woman but she does not find favor in his eyes because he finds something indecent about her, he may write her a certificate of divorce, give it to her, and send her away from his house.

    3If the second man also dislikes her and writes her a certificate of divorce, gives it to her, and sends her away from his house, or if the second man dies,
