Contextual Overview
1 And rising up from thence, he cometh into the coast of Judea beyond the Jordan: and the multitude flocked to him again. And as he was accustomed, he taught them again. 2 And the Pharisees coming to him asked him, tempting him: Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? 3 But he answering, saith to them: What did Moses command you? 4 Who said: Moses permitted to write a bill of divorce and to put her away. 5 To whom Jesus answering, said: Because of the hardness of your heart, he wrote you that precept. 6 But from the beginning of the creation, God made them male and female. 7 For this cause, a man shall leave his father and mother and shall cleave to his wife. 8 And they two shall be in one flesh. Therefore now they are not two, but one flesh. 9 What therefore God hath joined together, let no man put asunder. 10 And in the house again his disciples asked him concerning the same thing.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
But from the beginning of the creation,.... Of the world, or of man: ×ת××ת ×ר×××ª× ×©× ×¢×××, "from the beginning of the creation of the world", is a way of speaking often used by the Jews r: the phrase "of the creation" is left out in the Syriac and Persic versions; and so it was in Beza's most ancient copy, and it is only read, "from the beginning", as in Mt 19:4,8, :-,
:-.
God made them male and female; the first that were created, Adam and Eve, the first parents of mankind, the first couple that came together were one male and one female; so that there could be no polygamy or divorce: Adam could not have more wives than one: nor could he put away Eve, and marry another; no provision was made for any such usages and practices; :-. In the Complutensian edition, it is added, "and said", the following words.
r Bereshit Rabba, sect. 3. fol. 2. 3. & sect. 4. fol. 4. 1.
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 âmightâ 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.
