Mark 10:9
7 ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife,
8 and the two will become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two, but one flesh.
Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.”
10 When they were back inside the house, the disciples asked Jesus about this matter.
11 So He told them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
