What does the Bible say about divorce and adultery?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that divorce is generally not permissible, as God designed marriage to be a lifelong union.

In Mark 10, Jesus discusses the topic of divorce in response to the Pharisees' questioning. He emphasizes that Moses permitted divorce due to the hardness of people's hearts, but from the beginning, God intended marriage to be a permanent union between one man and one woman. Jesus states that whoever divorces their spouse and marries another commits adultery, illustrating the sanctity of marriage and God's intention for it to remain unbroken. This aligns with the broader biblical theme that marriage reflects the relationship between Christ and His church.
