It allows for divorce if there can be no peace. The emphasis being on peace. Of course the scripture is speaking of a believer and non-believer. 1 Corinthians 7:14-16 (King James Version)
14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.
15 But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace. 16 For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?

In fact I think that the insinuation of "hateful" Pentecostals is coming mostly from the fertile imaginations of bitter, backslidden ex Apostolics who are constantly trying to find a way to justify their actions. ~ strait shooter

Ah, but the question added "remarriage" into the equation. That is the kicker, IMHO. I do not believe divorce is a sin at all. Otherwise God committed sin when he gave Israel a bill of divorcement (Isa 50:1).

This says it all in a nutshell. Good post. There is no sin that is not forgiveable by Christ, up to and including divorce. If the divorce is forgiven and not held against one then the subsequent remarriage is recognized by God and faith community.
I find nowhere the bible allows for divorce and remarriage for any reason other than fornication/adultery.
Oh my goodness. So a woman has a husband that physically abusing her. No adultery just physical abuse. According to your position she has to stay with him. I am a pastor and my doctrine can be summed up in one phrase: IF HE IS BEATING YOU: LEAVE HIM.
