What does Matthew 5:32 mean?

But I’m telling you, if you divorce your wife for any reason other than sexual unfaithfulness, you make her commit adultery. And anyone who marries a divorced woman is committing adultery too. Matthew 5:32 - Modern Text Bible

(Jesus is saying that divorce isn’t just a legal matter—it has deep relational and moral consequences. He’s calling people to take marriage seriously.)
