Which denominations interpret these verses as *not* permitting divorce in the case of adultery, for those in a valid marriage?
>St. Matthew 5:32
But I say to you, whosoever shall dismiss his wife, **excepting the cause of fornication (*porneia*)**, maketh her to commit adultery. And he that shall marry her that is dismissed, committeth adultery. >St. Matthew 19:9
And I say to you, that whosoever shall dismiss his wife, **but for fornication (*porneia*)**, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and he that shall marry her that is dismissed, committeth adultery. For example, the Catholic Church calls these "exceptive clauses ." In other words: fornication does not make a marriage.
It also seems these exceptive clauses could refer to "diriment impediments ," which prevent there from ever being a marriage in the first place; examples of diriment impediments being incest, perpetual impotence, vow of chastity/celibacy, etc.). Note: I am not asking about the Catholic interpretation of Matt. 5:32 and 19:9, as this question here does , but which denomination(s) interpret those verses similarly to the way the Catholic Church does.
