If a woman asks for divorce, can the man remarry without commiting adultery?



      

Matthew 5:32

ESV - 32 But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of sexual immorality, makes her commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

Deuteronomy 24:1-4 mentions remarriage after a divorce, does not call it adultery, and does not demand the death penalty for the remarried spouse.

The Bible explicitly says that God hates divorce (Malachi 2:16). However, it does not explicitly state that God hates remarriage; that the remarriage is invalid; or that a spouse who has remarried should divorce the new spouse.
