If Moses had been a woman....

What's a divorce---A piece of paper. Everything is paper, my dear man, even money. I mean big money, not pocket change. Those who hold the pen--write. Moses was a man. That's why he wrote that a man could have ten wives, but if  a woman looked at another man she had to be stoned. If a woman had held the pen she would have written the exact opposite.

From The Magician of Lublin by Isaac Bashevis Singer, 1960.
