Helen,
I looked up the following verse and the word in question which Jesus said,
via translation of course...
"It was said, "WHOEVER SENDS HIS WIFE AWAY, LET HIM GIVE HER A CERTIFICATE
OF DIVORCE'; but I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except
for the reason of unchastity, makes her commit adultery; and whoever
marries a divorced woman commits adultery." -- Matthew 5:31-32
Unchastity is defined as follows according to Strongs Greek/Hebrew Dictionary
NT:4202 porneia (por-ni'-ah); from NT:4203; harlotry (including adultery
and incest); figuratively, idolatry:
KJV - fornication.
Now. An interesting thing here. Does the same apply for a woman divorcing
her husband? Hmm.
