If a person gets a divorce from their spouse for a reason other than adultery are they allowed to remarry?

Bible: No       Qur'an: Yes

Matthew 5:32 – whosoever shall put away his wife, except for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery; and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.

Matthew 19:9 – And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery.”


Al-Baqarah 2:231 – When you have divorced your wives... let them go in kindness.

At-Tahrim 66:5 – It may happen that his Lord, if he divorces you, will give him in your place better wives than yourselves... both formerly married and virgins.
