# Divorce ## Catechism of the Catholic Church The claim that the indissoluble marriage bond validly entered into between a man and a woman is broken. A civil dissolution of the marriage contract (divorce) does not free persons from a valid marriage before God; remarriage would not be morally licit ([[3.2.2.6.p87#^5d6412|ccc-2382]]; cf. [[2.2.3.7.p55#^ccc16e|ccc-1650]]). ## Ignatius Catholic Study Bible **Divorce:** [[matthew-05#^matthew-05-31|Mt 5:31-32]]; [[matthew-19#^matthew-19-3|19:3-9]]; [[mark-10#^mark-10-2|Mk 10:2-12]]; [[luke-16#^luke-16-18|Lk 16:18]]; [[1-corinthians-07#^1-corinthians-07-10|1 Cor 7:10-16]] *See also* [[adultery]]; [[marriage]] ### Sources [[index-of-doctrines|Index of Doctrines]] ## Compendium on Social Doctrine ![[sd-10-index-d#Divorce]] --- Next: [[doctrine|Doctrine]]
