Matthew 5:32

But to the married I command—not I, but the Lord—that the wife not leave her husband

Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery. He who marries one who is divorced from a husband commits adultery.

“I made a covenant with my eyes, how then should I look lustfully at a young woman?

I will set no vile thing before my eyes. I hate the deeds of faithless men. They will not cling to me.

Don’t lust after her beauty in your heart, neither let her captivate you with her eyelids.

I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and he who marries her when she is divorced commits adultery.”

So then if, while the husband lives, she is joined to another man, she would be called an adulteress. But if the husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is no adulteress, though she is joined to another man.

But to the rest I—not the Lord—say, if any brother has an unbelieving wife, and she is content to live with him, let him not leave her.

Yet if the unbeliever departs, let there be separation. The brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called us in peace.

He shall not marry a widow, or one divorced, or a woman who has been defiled, or a prostitute. He shall take a virgin of his own people as a wife.

But if a priest’s daughter is a widow, or divorced, and has no child, and has returned to her father’s house as in her youth, she may eat of her father’s bread; but no stranger shall eat any of it.

But if her husband forbids her in the day that he hears it, then he makes void her vow which is on her and the rash utterance of her lips, with which she has bound her soul. Yahweh will forgive her.
