Contextual Overview
1 And he got up, and went into the country of Judaea on the other side of Jordan: and great numbers of people came together to him again; and, as was his way, he gave them teaching. 2 And Pharisees came to him, testing him with the question, Is it right for a man to put away his wife? 3 And he said to them in answer, What did Moses say you were to do? 4 And they said to him, Moses let us give her a statement in writing, and be free from her. 5 But Jesus said to them, Because of your hard hearts he gave you this law. 6 But from the first, male and female made he them. 7 For this cause will a man go away from his father and mother, and be joined to his wife; 8 And the two will become one flesh; so that they are no longer two, but one flesh. 9 Let not that which has been joined together by God be parted by man. 10 And in the house the disciples put questions to him again about this thing.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
See this question about divorce explained in the notes at Matthew 19:1-12.
Mark 10:12
And if a woman shall put away her husband - It would seem, from this, that a woman, among the Jews, had the power of separating herself from her husband, yet this right is not given her by the law of Moses. There is not, however, any positive evidence that females often claimed or exercised this right. Cases had occurred, indeed, in which it had been done. The wife of Herod had rejected her former husband and married Herod. And though instances of this kind “might” have been attempted to be defended by the example of Pagans, yet our Saviour was desirous of showing them that it did not free them from the charge of adultery. The apostles were going forth to teach Pagan nations, and it was proper for Christ to teach them how to act in such cases, and to show them that they were cases of real adultery.
