Contextual Overview

¹ Then Yeshua left that place and went into the regions of Y'hudah and the territory beyond the Yarden. Again crowds gathered around him; and again, as usual, he taught them. ² Some P'rushim came up and tried to trap him by asking him, "Does the Torah permit a man to divorce his wife?" ³ He replied, "What did Moshe command you?" ⁴ They said, "Moshe allowed a man to hand his wife a get and divorce her." ⁵ But Yeshua said to them, "He wrote this commandment for you because of your hardheartedness. ⁶ However, at the beginning of creation, God made them male and female. ⁷ For this reason, a man should leave his father and mother and be united with his wife, ⁸ and the two are to become one flesh . Thus they are no longer two, but one. ⁹ So then, no one should break apart what God has joined together." ¹⁰ When they were indoors once more, the talmidim asked him about this.

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.
