The word used in Matt 19:9 is porneia in the Greek.
It includes sexual immorality, fornication, marital unfaithfulness, prostitution, adultery, a generic term for sexual sin of any kind.
The translation is clear, to any kind of sexual sin and not specifically fornication.

Shalom in the name of Jesus Christ

Deuteronomy 24.

A dysfunctional marriage, one with spousal abuse, is grounds for divorce if the abused spouse wants to live free of terror and assault. Even death.

Adultery is certainly grounds for divorce. If the two are to become one in marriage and one breaks off and sexes another, the covenant of
Oneness has been abrogated.

God forgives.

We get one life. Saying, I do till death us do part, and thinking there is no way out when living in a horrific marriage assures one thing. There are a great many ways to die.

1 Corinthians 6:
15. Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? GOD forbid.
16. What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith HE, shall be one flesh.


Shalom in the name of Adonai Yeshua

1 Corinthians 6 should be read in full for context.

If one wants to excise a portion to make a point regarding sexual immorality, it is advised to read verses 12 to 20 .

That is based on the discussion in summary, but those refer to the scripture can read and decide for themselves the context.

If you were to say the context starts from verse 12, what have meat to do with fornication and harlot?

Does meat defile your body, or does fornication and harlot?

Shalom in the name of Lord Jesus Christ

Perhaps you should read the chapter. You don't seem to know its content.
