If Jesus opposed divorce, he was in direct violation of the laws of the Torah (the first 5 books of The Bible), which allow for divorce.
Insight from Scripture:Matthew 19:3-9 - The Pharisees also came to Him, testing Him, and saying to Him, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for just any reason?"And He answered and said to them, "Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning 'made them male and female,' and said, 'For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh'? So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate."
They said to Him, "Why then did Moses command to give a certificate of divorce, and to put her away?"
He said to them, "Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, permitted you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so. And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery." [NKJV]

In New testament times, rabbis were divided as to the valid basis for divorce. "Because he hath found some uncleanness in her" (Deut. 24:1) left room for interpretation. One group of rabbis insisted divorce could be granted only if the wife was immoral. Another group argued divorce could be secured by the husband if the wife displeased him in any way. Among the Jews, only the husband had the right to secure a divorce. Jesus refused to be drawn into the rabbinical controversy over the possible valid basis for divorce. Jesus pointed out that the permission of Deut. 24:1 was not God's original intent. Divorce was permitted only because of "the hardness of your heart."
