For convenience, assume that this also applies with the male/female roles reversed: > But I say to you that whoever divorces his wife for any reason except sexual immorality causes her to commit adultery; and whoever marries a woman who is divorced commits adultery. — [Matthew 5:32](https://www.blueletterbible.org/nkjv/mat/5/32/s_934032) How would those denominations that forbid remarriage under these circumstances consider the following situation: - A chaste (sex only within marriage) couple divorces. - The one that forced the divorce marries someone else (thereby committing adultery). - Later, the other wants to marry someone. Would the second person's re-marriage be allowed, as technically the divorced spouse *has* committed adultery.
