What does Matthew 19:9 mean?

I'm telling you, whoever divorces his wife—unless she's been unfaithful—and marries someone else is committing adultery.' Matthew 19:9 - Modern Text Bible

(Jesus sets a high standard for marriage, saying that divorce and remarriage, except for sexual unfaithfulness, is like being unfaithful to your spouse.)
