Monogamous marriage
Levitical Marriage
Polygamous Marriage
War Brides
Concubinage
Each institution had set standards and guidelines to restrain man’s sinful nature. It doesn’t mean God approved of these things, but it does show that God permitted them and governed them to prevent total moral and social chaos.

I hear what you are saying. But Jesus didn't say God allowed the divorce. He specifically said Moses allowed it because of the hardness of people's hearts.
