Divorce is NOT forbidden.

But 'frivolous' divorce IS forbidden.

When Jehovah God united Adam and Eve in wedlock, he made no provision for divorce. Jesus stated: "So that they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has yoked together let no man put apart."

But then Jesus made an 'exception' in Matthew 19:8,9: "I say to you that whoever divorces his wife, except on the ground of fornication, and marries another commits adultery."

Jesus stated that if one mate was unfaithful, committing adultery; -- the innocent mate (male or female) can divorce from that person. The unfaithful mate had 'adulterated' the marriage bed by that act; having 'severed' the bond; having severed the 'one flesh' standing they once had.
