What''s the Bible''s teaching on
divorce?
Deuteronomy 24:1-4
If a man
marries a
woman who becomes displeasing to him because he finds something indecent about her, and he writes her a certificate of divorce, gives it to her and sends her from his
house, and if after she leaves his house she becomes the
wife of another man, and her second
husband dislikes her and writes her a certificate of divorce, gives it to her and sends her from his house, or if he dies, then her first husband, who divorced her, is not allowed to marry her again after she has been defiled. That would be detestable in the eyes of the LORD. Do not bring sin upon the land the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance.
Matthew 19:9 (Matthew 19:3-9)
I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, and marries another woman
commits adultery.
Mark 10:11 (Mark 10:2-12)
He answered, "Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her."
1 Corinthians 7:12-15 (1 Corinthians 7:10-16) If any brother has a wife who is not a believer and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her. And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him. For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy. But if the unbeliever leaves, let him do so. A believing man or woman is not bound in such circumstances; God has called us to live in peace.
