Too much to read on the net.

I tried. Probably the longest online article I've ever seen or tried to read. Quick summary thus far;

Overall subject matter: Whether divorce was permitted by Law (Man's) and God.

Within this context: Divorcing your wife with no justification or proof of adultery makes you a sinner and makes your wife and her future husband a sinner as well.

The passage only refers to those married couples that are saved by Jesus and blessed with the holy ghost in which means they cannot backslide or sin again.

Unlike those hypocrites, fake-Lukeworm Christian (have no connection/rapport with real Jesus) will definitely commit adultery twice in their lifetime no matter how many women/men they propose to.

Yep. Divorce is bad. Nobody should promote or encourage it even if they are divorced themselves.

I read that.  So basically, as long as her ex husband is still alive, dating or marrying a divorce woman is adultery.  I don't know what the punishment is.  I hope it's not death.

I highlighted the important parts in bold. Most Hmong American married couples in U.S. don't practice this law and end up living under their parents' roof because of old cultural tradition. Even those hypocritical, Lukeworm Christian married couples still living with their parents-in-law.  :face-palm:

Mark 10:2-12
2 Some Pharisees came and tested him by asking, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?”
3 “What did Moses command you?” he replied.
4 They said, “Moses permitted a man to write a certificate of divorce and send her away.”
5 “It was because your hearts were hard that Moses wrote you this law,” Jesus replied.
6 “But at the beginning of creation God ‘made them male and female.’
 7 ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife,
8 and the two will become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two, but one flesh.

9 Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”
10 When they were in the house again, the disciples asked Jesus about this.
11 He answered, “Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her.
12 And if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery.”
