I. Marriage in God’s Plan

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

1610
Moral conscience concerning the unity and indissolubility of marriage developed
under the pedagogy of the old law. In the Old Testament the polygamy of
patriarchs and kings is not yet explicitly rejected. Nevertheless, the law
given to Moses aims at protecting the wife from arbitrary domination by the
husband, even though according to the Lord’s words it still carries traces of
man’s “hardness of heart” which was the reason Moses permitted men to
divorce their wives.¹⁰¹
