"When may a man put away his woman?”—because in both Hebrew and Greek, there is no special word for “wife” or “husband.” It’s the same in German today: a woman’s husband is her “man,” and a man’s wife is his “woman.”

A minor quibble but "Ehemann" and "Ehefrau" are used to mean husband and wife respectively in German.

If I may on behalf of the author: thanks for the correction. The truth should never offend no matter how minor or great the revelation.

A hearty bump to the thread NYer this was a great read and very helpful.
