There are no biblical grounds for divorce, period. Everyone keeps commenting on that "exception clause"...except for adultery or marital unfaithfulness.
I discovered thru my research that scholars claim that exception clause refers to the Jewish espousage period when Jewish couples, such as Mary and Joseph, were engaged/married but had not consummated the marriage yet. They have to wait one year before consummating the marriage. I have also discovered that a Greek scholar, Tischendorf, traced the Greek manuscripts and not once was the exception clause in the original Greek manuscripts. The exception clause was added into the bible in the 15th century.
Now that being said, God made marriage for life until death. Jesus specifically said that remarriage is adultery. The only time anyone can marry again is if their covenant spouse is dead. And only then can they marry someone who has never married before or is a widow/widower.
So what does this mean for the person who is divorced from their covenant spouse and remarried to a non-covenant spouse? It means they need to repent and give up that marriage. The same goes for a single people who married a divorced person that left a covenant marriage. These people are in "legal adultery"
Mark 10:11-12 (Jesus) He answered, "Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her. 12And if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery."
Luke 16:18 Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and the man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery
Since Jesus claims remarriage to a non-covenant spouse is adultery, those in "legal adultery" will not inherit the Kingdom of God. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders 10nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God
The church is totally blinded to what God's truth is about divorce and remarriage. There are alot of pastors saying it is ok to divorce and remarry. They are telling people what they want to hear, not what God's truth is. Satan is taking alot of people to hell with him because of this.

The only Biblical grounds for divorce is if your spouse cheats on you, or if your spouse isn't a believer and they leave, you should let them go.
I'm sure God didn't intend for us to remain with people who abuse us, either, so I think that is a reason for divorce.
I believe that the only reason you are permitted to remarry is when the marriage broke down due to abuse or infidelity. Many Christian churches will remarry only for those reasons. However, many Christians of today don't hold to these principles at all.

you can remarry as long as he is dead or he or she was the one that leave you first and move on then you are free like a bird to get marry and also you need to pray before to see if that's what God wants for you. If it is happening over again yes get you can still get marry as many time you want.

YES
im catholic so i see it slightly different cos i dnt agree that divorce should be used unless u cannot move forward but if you happen to be unlucky and say one man cheats on u n u cant move on and then the next one does sumthing similar then u can remarry but by the third time you should step back and see if your rushing into marriage b/c obviously u arent picking ur ideal man

I am Christian as well, and God didn't put an exact number as to how many times you can get remarried when infidelity is is involved. So live life and be happy!

Yes, but if she keeps picking bums, I'd question her taste in men. The men she picked she probably didn't pray over to see if they were who God wanted her to marry. She also probably didn't date them very long, etc.

You can remarry as many times as you want.
I don't think that someone would want to remain with a drug addict, emotional/physical abuser, cheater, lazybum, for their entire life.
You HAVE to find your own happiness and you don't have to sacrifice your entire life to some loser.

She shouldn't. Get some counseling the first time.
