Note that Jesus said, "He who divorces his wife and marries another, save
fornication, committs adultery."

Note that divorce in and of itself does not constitute adultery in this
verse.  Instead, it is the remarriage that constitutes adultery.  To me,
common sense dictates that if it is adulterous to divorce a wife and
marry another, then it must be adulterous to marry another without
divorcing her.
