The Hall marriage theorem says that a bipartite graph with classes $A,B$ has a matching saturating $A$ if and only ifwhere $N(S)$ is the graph neighbourhood of $S$. Necessity follows because the matching sends the vertices of $S$ to distinct vertices of $N(S)$.

For sufficiency, add vertices $x,y$, join $x$ to every vertex of $A$, and join every vertex of $B$ to $y$. Let $W$ be an $x$-$y$ vertex separator, and write $W_A=W\cap A$ and $W_B=W\cap B$. If an edge joined a vertex of $A\setminus W_A$ to a vertex of $B\setminus W_B$, it would give an $x$-$y$ path avoiding $W$. HenceHall's condition givesand therefore $|W|\ge |A|$. By Menger theorem, there are $|A|$ internally vertex-disjoint $x$-$y$ paths. Each has the form $xaby$ with $a\in A$ and $b\in B$; disjointness makes all the $a$ and all the $b$ distinct. Their middle edges form a matching saturating $A$.
