considered "putting her away", i.e., divorcing her.
"Then [goldJoseph her husband, being a just man, and not wanting to make her a public example, was minded to put her away secretly. But while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife"
The marriage had not been consummated, that is why Joseph, called her husband, had yet to take her as his wife.
"Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord commanded him and took to him his wife, and did not know her till she had brought forth her firstborn Son. And he called His name Jesus. Matthew 1
The Jews had a year long bethrothal period were they went through an initial ceremony to become husband and wife, but did not consummate the marriage until after the final ceremony a year later.
Try to keep up with the rest of the class.
