Is Pornea a Civil Divorce?

Pornea was interpreted as referring back to Leviticus 18 and Gentiles who had a tendency to marry within consanguinity. The idea that the marriage bond is a sacred bond doesn't mean you can now marry another because of practical implications, he says. John the Baptist gets beheaded because he called on Herod to divorce his wife Herodias because it was an unlawful marriage,. And Jesus seems to be supporting that right here in the place where He's going to be arrested.
