Loading ...But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
2 Bible Commentaries on Matthew 5: 32

Jesus says that divorce is permissible when the wife is guilty of fornication. But what if the husband is unfaithful? Jesus doesn’t seem to care about that.
Also the Old Testament states that only a man can initiate divorce (Deuteronomy 24:1).
Even the Koran gives women the right to divorce (although - I have to admit - in daily life Christian women have more rights than their Islamic counterparts)

Standard Christian interpretation is that either spouse can divorce the other if the other commits adultery and that only the innocent party (the one that did not commit adultery) has the right to remarry. This is just like in Leviticus 18:22 where God speaks to males and says “Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.” It would be ludicrous to take from this that God condemns male homosexuality but not female homosexuality.
