What are the consequences of a broken marriage according to scripture?

Answered in 1 source

A broken marriage leads to personal and relational strife, and can harm the moral fabric of society.

Jesus' teachings emphasize the seriousness of the marriage covenant and the adverse implications of its fracture. Divorce for trivial reasons is highlighted as a moral failing that contributes to broader social decay. The experience of unequal partnerships, such as polygamy or casual divorce, often leads to increased immorality and unhappiness (Mark 10:12). Thus, a broken marriage can produce ongoing emotional, spiritual, and social consequences, reflecting a disobedience to God’s ordained structure for human relationships.
