The bible gave adultery or desertion as a reason for divorce. If a person gets a divorce for any other reason, they are not to remarry.
I know this intimately because I did get a divorce, and it was not for a biblical reason. This verse states: "a woman is not to leave her husband, but if she does, she is to remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband". Well, reconciliation did not work out. So I will remain unmarried.
I am very devoted to the word of God. I think it perfect. I also think, if I appropriate His promises, it's only fair I heed His admonitions as well.
I would never presume to tell another believer what to do. All I want to do is relay for you what God's word says on the matter, and encourage you (or whomever) to seek God in this decision.

The Bible makes two allowances for divorce. The first is if one of the marriage partners commits adultery and the other allowance is if one of the partners is an unbeliever and they desert the marriage. So if someone is divorced for either of those reasons then remarriage is not a sin.
Matthew 19:3 And Pharisees came up to him and tested him by asking, "Is it lawful to divorce one's wife for any cause?" 4 He answered, "Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, 5 and said, 'Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh'? 6 So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate." 7 They said to him, "Why then did Moses command one to give a certificate of divorce and to send her away?" 8 He said to them, "Because of your hardness of heart Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so. 9 And I say to you: whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery."
1 Corinthians 7:10 To the married I give this charge (not I, but the Lord): the wife should not separate from her husband 11 (but if she does, she should remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband), and the husband should not divorce his wife. 12 To the rest I say (I, not the Lord) that if any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to live with him, he should not divorce her. 13 If any woman has a husband who is an unbeliever, and he consents to live with her, she should not divorce him. 14 For the unbelieving husband is made holy because of his wife, and the unbelieving wife is made holy because of her husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy. 15 But if the unbelieving partner separates, let it be so. In such cases the brother or sister is not enslaved. God has called you to peace.

If you are Christian, divorce is a sin.
LUK 16:18 "Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and the man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

If the person is divorced, what bonds hold them? They are no longer married and are free to see whomever they wish. They are held to no-one. No matter if they wish to marry that person or not.

divorcing is only appropriate when you are in danger like if you are being beaten and if the person doing the violence doesn't want help then you should divorce because God wants us to be loved by our partner not mistreated

well, firstly, God does not endorse divorces, but couples should instead focus on God to heal their relationship and build up the pieces again with Him in the center of it.
Putting that aside for a moment, it is not wrong to think of marrying a person PROVIDED it is not lustful thoughts.
If it is lustful, then it is a sin.

According to Christians/the Bible almost EVERYTHING is a "sin" even eating shrimp. If you believe in this religion I suggest you lock yourself in your home and never leave lest you commit a "sin". Also, "Technically according to the Bible we aren't even allowed to go the the bathroom" ```The Simpsons.

isn't divorce a sin?! You should stop worrying about God and/or Jesus and start worrying about yourself.
