Without rehashing what has been at length in other forums on this site, the key understanding is that:
"divorce" is NOT EQUAL to "putting away" (shalach, in the Hebrew).
Many of the English renderings of the 'words in red' that SEEM to prohibit 'remarriage after divorce' are disgustingly twisted distortions of what He and His original Word actually say.
Often, what is overlooked is the far better rendering of Matthew 5:32 (and this can be established in great detail, and has been) is that, 'He who PUTS AWAY [sends out, abandons] his wife for any reason, unless she is already an adulteress, causes her to commit adultery, and he who marries a woman who has only been 'put away' [and not actually 'divorced,' without that written witness] thus commits adultery.'
The emphasized words are utterly consistent with His Word in His Torah (especially Deuteronomy 24:1-3) and the fact that He never changed them. And since that was the point He was MAKING in the "Sermon on the Mount," and He had JUST FINISHED SAY EXACTLY THAT, it's easy to see, once the contradictions of the things men CLAIM are "law" but aren't are exposed for the falsehoods they are.
There remains another question to be asked.
PS> As to the above-linked "Divorce and Remarriage" article, I will suggest the 80/20 Rule applies. There are some parts that are very well-done, and in general it's a cut above most things you will see on the subject, with the caveat that there are other parts that are, well, a bit 'irritating' (as regulars here will understand.
)
Where I think an important point is made has to do with what might be called "abandonment" by a faithless husband.
But I do note that Yahuah gave His "sefer keretutah" to whoring Israel (Isaiah 50:1) ANYWAY, even though she had COMMITTED adulteries (plural) and was arguably deserving of death.
SO, the remaining question has to do with any subsequent husband.
It may well be that a non-virgin woman (ie, previously married) who does NOT have a 'get' or 'certificate of divorce' may be able to remarry, because she was abandoned (and I find the author's treatment of that insightful.)
But I will contend that any now ex-husband's written witness (that second witness) that she is able to remarry certainly "makes the path straight."
