I should point out that that is not what Jesus said, but how you are interpreting him. And by putting it in capitals, you are shouting, and trying to put the "fear of God" into this already put upon woman.

When Jesus said "because of the hardness of your hearts" it was a reminder for us to be gentle. As I quoted before, Jesus also said "The law was made for man, but man was not made for the law". Which I take as meaning we have to make up our own minds and be flexible when dispensing guidance to others.
