Divorce and separation

Divorce: What Does The Bible Say?

1. God hates divorce (Malachi 2:16). 2. To have the right to remarry following a divorce, the cause for the divorce must have been the sexual unfaithfulness of your mate (Matthew 19:9; 5:32). 3. In the absence of sexual unfaithfulness both divorced parties must remain single or reconcile (1 Corinthians 7:10-11). 4. Marrying a divorced person, who didn't have a Scriptural right to put away their former spouse or spouses, will involve you in an adulterous relationship (Matthew 5:32). 5. Concerning the mate who commits adultery, that person in Scripture is never given the right to remarry.
