Bro. Smith, I would first like to point out, that in the old testament,
devorce of a adulterer, or a adulteress was not a question. There was no
such thing because they were put to death. The innocent party, became a
widow, or widower.

Regarding Matthew 5:32, my Strongs Concordance says this about fornication.

4202  porneia (por-ni'-ah);
from 4203; harlotry (including adultery and incest); figuratively, idolatry: 
KJV-- fornication.
