I'm not sure about every translation out there, but I have read several translations and have never seen that actual phrase. I suspect it is more or less a paraphrase of the general thought behind the scriptural mandate that the bond between a husband and wife is a lifetime commitment. Jesus said that the 'two would become one flesh.'(Mark 10:8) 1 Corinthians 7:39 says that a 'wife is bound to her husband during all the time her husband is alive.' Genesis 2:24 says: "...a man will leave his father and his mother and he must stick to his wife and they must become one flesh." This would indicate that marriage is a 'till death do you part' committment.

Additional Answer:

In Romans 7:1-3, Paul states that a woman is bound by law to her husband as long as he lives, but if he should die, she is loosed from that law and may marry again.
