Can we draw the conclusion from Matthew 5:28 (But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.) that if a married person lusted after another in their mind, then the spouse is free to divorce them per Matthew 19:9 (I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.”)?
