All of the denominations that I know of that do not permit remarriage after divorce do it by literally not recognizing the validity of divorce - it's as if the divorce decree is literally a blank piece of paper that can't do anything, let alone change someone's marital status. This has the interesting effect that a "divorced" couple that want to get back together only need a civil remarriage (to "render unto Caesar", and for public propriety, etc.) and not a church remarriage. | |
