1שלא יגרשנה כל ימיו - שנמנע מוציא שם רע על אשתו ונמצא שקרן בדבריו שלא לגרשה לעולם, ועל זה נאמר (דברים כב יט) לא יוכל לשלחה כל ימיו.
That he should not divorce her all of his days: That one who puts out a bad name about his wife and is found to be a liar with his words is prevented from divorcing her forever. And about this is it stated (Deuteronomy 22:19), “he may not send her away all of his days.”
2משרשי המצוה. וכיצד הוצאת שם רע וקצת דיניה כמנהגי כתבתי במצות עשה שלו שבסדר זה (מצוה תקנג), וקחנו משם.
I have written about the roots of this commandment and how is the putting out of a bad name and a few of its laws in its positive commandment in this Order (Sefer HaChinukh 553), as is my custom — and take it from there.
