Some Say Get a Legal Divorce. I Say Divorcees Who Remarry Commit Adultery
31 “And it was said, ‘Whoever sends-away[a] his wife, let him give her a divorce[b] certificate’. 32 But I say to you that everyone sending-away his wife except for a matter[c] of sexual-immorality is causing her to commit-adultery[d]. And whoever marries a woman having been sent-away [from her husband] is committing-adultery.
