I mean, is it permissible in God's eyes? In the eyes of the Bible? In the eyes of the church?

Deuteronomy 24:1-2 says yes:
When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house. And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man's wife.
Luke 16:18 says no:
Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.
In my personal opinion, it's completely fine. I'm also not a Christian.

I don't have the bible in front of me to give exact verse but in summary it goes like this:
God gave Moses instructions to allow divorce due to mans harden heart regarding this. If a man or woman remarries without being a widow they are considered an adultress.
mark 10:4 thru 9

If a husband cheats on his wife, she is permitted to divorce him and remarry.

OFCOURSE, A husband is supposed to be loving and thoughtful to his wife. He by no means is free to do what he wants. She has every right to remarry and not only that he will have to account for his sin.

Yes. The Bible says you can divorce for adultery.

Yes.
God does not want anyone to stay in a harmful relationship - particularly an unfaithful one or abusive one.
Read 1 Corinthians Chapter 7.

"And if a woman divorces her husband and remarries, she commits adultery."
Nice. So (surprise surprise) the woman gets cheated on and remarries, and then gets sent to hell for adultery...
What a load of woman-hating crap.

Yes..."he has broken his vows...he has lied...to his wife.." she, from the first is freed from her vows when he left her in the first place...to be with another women....he makes himself an "unbeliever" maybe not in Christ..but in the marriage itself, which is a mystery of Christ and the Church..which he did not understand, and therefore..defiled, sinned against and broke fellowship with..or, departed from...spiritually divorcing away from..it's called "betrayal" treason....against one whom you have claimed to vow to "death do us part" this is a very big teaching..and i havent room here... bye.... Mr. Diamond :) but yes, "YOU can re-marry, you are not of age of an elderly woman, nor a widow, and you were the one who was betrayed against...not your fault... :)

But I say that a man who divorces his wife, unless she has been unfaithful, causes her to commit adultery. And anyone who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

Neither adultery nor divorce nullify a marriage, see as Jesus said, ""Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her. And if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery."
