The Bible addresses divorce in Matthew 5:31-32, stating it is permitted only for fornication.

In Matthew 5:31-32, Jesus clarifies the Old Testament provisions for divorce, stating that one can only divorce for the cause of fornication. He highlights that the ease of divorce is a result of the hardness of human hearts, referencing that from the beginning, marriage was intended to be a lifelong union between a man and a woman.
