Two times God says to go forth and multiply.
Genesis 1:28 and 9:7 (have children)

God officiated Adam and Eve’s marriage. Genesis 2:24

Then take a look at Deuteronomy, chapter 24:1-5.

Marry childless brother’s widow (even if you are already married. This is known as ‘yibum.’). Deuteronomy 25:5

If a man (or woman) refuses to marry his brother’s widow then he must perform the commandment called ‘chalitzah’ in order to free her from the required marriage and allow her to marry someone else. Deuteronomy 25:7-10

The rapist must marry the maiden (if she chooses to do so). Deuteronomy 22:29

The slanderer must remain married to the wife he slandered and not allowed to divorce her. Deuteronomy 22:19

Not to marry a woman and her daughter, or her son’s daughter, or her daughter’s daughter. Leviticus 18:17

Not to marry non-Jews. Deuteronomy 7:3

Not to let Moabite and Ammonite males marry into the Jewish people. Deuteronomy 23:4 (Doesn’t really apply any more since Moabites and Ammonites don’t exist now.)

Don’t keep a third generation Egyptian convert from marrying into the Jewish people. Deuteronomy 23:8-9

Not to refrain from marrying a third generation Edomite convert. Deuteronomy 23:8-9 (Doesn’t really apply since there are no more third generation Edomites around.)

The high priest (cohen) must not marry a widow. Leviticus 21:14

A high priest (cohen) must not marry a divorcee. Leviticus 21:7

A cohen must not marry a zonah (a woman who had forbidden relations) or a chalalah Leviticus 21:7

So either Paul/Saul was either a card-carrying Jew who followed Torah or what is written in the Christian’s New Testament is a lie. It is possible he might have at some point divorced. He was a Pharisee which is a rabbi by today’s parlance. In order to be a rabbi of a congregation you have be married. It’s possible that his wife might not have liked the path he was walking and wanted a divorce and he gave it to her.

Take a look at this article and see what you think.
