I believe the reason for the provision for the lovedless wife in Deut 21:15-17 is because the husband is bound by his covenant (Exodus 21:10), no matter what his feelings are for his unloved wife. ***Malachi 2:14 Nevertheless, you ask, “Why is this?” Because Adonai is witness between you and the wife of your youth that you have broken faith with her, though she is your companion, your wife by covenant. 15 And hasn’t he made [them] one [flesh] in order to have spiritual blood-relatives? For what the one [flesh] seeks is a seed from God. Therefore, take heed to your spirit, and don’t break covenant with the wife of your youth. 16 “For I hate divorce,” says Adonai the God of Isra’el, “and him who covers his clothing with violence,” says Adonai-Tzva’ot. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and don’t break covenant.. - - - - - - - - - The price for breaking covenant is death penalty. ***Ezek 17:5 But this man rebelled and sent representatives to Egypt, in order to obtain horses and a sizeable army. Can he succeed? Can someone who does such things escape punishment? Can he break the covenant and still escape punishment? 16 “‘As I live,’ says Adonai Elohim, ‘in the place where the king who gave him his throne lives, whose oath he despised and whose covenant he broke, there with him in Bavel I swear that he will die. 17 Pharaoh with his mighty army and numerous troops will give him no help in the war, when they raise siege-works and build fortified towers to destroy many people; 18 because he despised the oath by breaking the covenant to which he had sworn allegiance; having done all these things, he will not escape unpunished.’ 19 Therefore Adonai Elohim says: ‘As I live, I swear that it is my oath he has despised and my covenant he has broken, and I will bring this on his own head. 20 I will spread my net over him, and he will be caught in my snare; I will bring him to Bavel and bring him to judgment there for breaking faith with me. 21 The elite troops among his forces will die by the sword, and those who survive will be scattered to every wind. Then you will know that I, Adonai, said it.’ - - - - ***Romans 1:28 Even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, . . . 31 . . . covenant breakers, . . . unmerciful; 32 who, knowing the ordinance of God, that those who keep on doing such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also approve of those who keep on doing them. The other reason is Gods hatred for partiality and prejudice ***1 Tim 5: 21 I solemnly charge you before God and Christ Jesus and the elect angels to observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing out of favoritism.. . . . ***James 2:2 My brothers, don’t hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ of glory with partiality.
