Do you disagree with Jesus, and think that divorce is acceptable beyond adultery? Do you disagree with Jesus and think a spouse jilted by an adulterer has the right to remarry, committing adultery?

No, I'm to gutless to disagree with him. Or at least that smart.
Actually there is two ways that a divorce is considered lawful. One if the spouse is a unrepetant cheater and continues to cheat and then in one of them is a threat to the others life. I f the husband tries to kill his wife it would be fine. but there are exceptions to no divorce that do jive with the bible.
So, a woman has no right to divorce an abusive husband?

Divorce IS lawful according to the Bible, as is evident in the scripture being discussed in the OP. Moses allowed for divorce. Jesus did not, unless, supposedly, there was adultery involved. Jesus also defined remarriage as adultery, under no uncertain terms.
Its not adultry if the one who was not cheating is divorced first is it? Although the cheater is always considered a adulterer.
“Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery, and he who marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery."
Luke 16:18
Just about every one of you Christians have made up some excuse as to why divorce and remarriage are okay, but fall short of admitting that they disagree with Jesus on this issue.

Actually even Single people commit adultery just by looking at another person if you want to get technical. Also Jesus I am sure woudnt call a widow or widower a adulteress because its Till death do you part.
This thread is directed at Christians, right?
Rights....within church doctrine. Jesus certainly doesn't offer her any.

Or, at the least you're all mostly okay with continuing on as being adulterous sinners, that Jesus will forgive anyway.
At "The Well", when Jesus told the woman who had been married 5 times, to "go and sin no more"..... what do you think he meant? Could she go home and have sexual relations with her 5th husband, and NOT be sinning in Jesus' eyes?
