A man may not remarry his former wife if she married another man after their divorce.
This mitzvah forbids a divorced man from remarrying his wife if she has been married to another man in the interim. The Torah considers such a union an abomination, undermining the sanctity and seriousness of marriage. This prohibition safeguards against frivolous divorce and remarriage, ensuring that marriage is approached with dignity and permanence, and protecting the moral integrity of the family and society.
