You'd better be able to use the 'concordance,' at minimum, to compare the various English renderings and see how the ACTUAL original word is used, or "twisting" will follow...
Put away and divorce are the same thing, the Pharisees are just summarizing what Moses said.
Mark 10
2 And the Pharisees, having come near, questioned Him if it is lawful for a husband to put away a wife, tempting Him
4 And they said, “Moses permitted to write a bill of divorce, and to put away.”
Deuteronomy 24
1 then he has written a writing of divorce for her, and given [it] into her hand, and sent her out of his house;
Mark 10

4 And they said, “Moses permitted to write a bill of divorce, and to put away.”

That is false.
They asked a question that used a certain Greek word and he answered by asking what did Moses say?
The answer was a different Greek word, because that was about actual divorce.
To the undiscerning person, the whole portion is about divorce, but if you study it more closely he is showing them the difference between divorce, which is allowed in the law that Yah gave Moses, and putting a wife out without a divorce.
In other words, they came with a question about putting a wife out without a divorce paper and he showed them the line between putting her out without divorcing her and actually divorcing her. One is acceptable, because of the hardness of someone’s heart (which actually could be the wife’s heart being hard), and the other is unacceptable and causes adultery.
