What is marital unfaithfulness?

Matthew 5:32 (ESV)

32 But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of sexual immorality, makes her commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

The Greek word translated as marital unfaithfulness refers to sexual immorality in general. A broad range of sexual sins are in view, not just adultery (sex with someone else’s spouse). 1
