Divorce is a complex subject that raises deep and difficult questions: What does the Bible say about remarriage after divorce? Is divorce a sin? Can a woman divorce her husband if he commits adultery?

These struggles are common for those who face the reality of marital separation. The Bible takes divorce seriously, emphasizing the sanctity of marriage as a covenant instituted by God. Although divorce is viewed as a deviation from the divine ideal, Scripture also recognizes circumstances that may justify separation.

Through this article, we will explore Scripture's perspective on divorce, including Jesus' teachings on marriage, biblical reasons for divorce, and God's grace that provides forgiveness and restoration. A balanced view can help to understand not only divine standards but also the compassion that accompanies any difficult situation in life.
