    DefinitionShort: to dissolve the marriage bond
    Glosses: ['to divorce', 'to separate']
    Comments: Expressions for divorce are often based on terms meaning literally ‘to send away,’ ‘to separate from,’ or ‘to leave one another.’ However, in a number of languages idiomatic expressions are employed, for example ‘to send him off with his clothes,’ ‘to untie the knot between them,’ or ‘to throw away her hearthstones.’|Some persons have attempted to make an important distinction between ἀφίημι in {S:04600701100008} and χωρίζω in {S:04600701500010} on the assumption that ἀφίημι implies legal divorce, while χωρίζω only relates to separation. Such a distinction, however, seems to be quite artificial.
