It did not said "to avoid Marriage" but to avoid Fornication.
(also of the adultery was a ticket for second marriage, why then Jesus said that for any other reason is adultery? Every man or woman who is so hard-hearted and divrses ,He does for marry an other one. Son then all second marriages were permitted.?)

I think your zeal to consign all divorced and remarried people to the infernal regions blinds you. Here are the definitions of the Greek word "porneia", which is translated "fornication" in
Matthew 19:9:
Quote:
I. illicit sexual intercourse
A. adultery, fornication, homosexuality, lesbianism, intercourse with animals etc.
B. sexual intercourse with close relatives; Lev. 18
C. sexual intercourse with a divorced man or woman; Mk. 10:11,12
