I heard this not to long ago. Marriage was not always governed. But now that it is, there is a bigger issue. Any marriage wether recognized by God or not is in fact a marriage under the government. Therefore the rules of the law of the land apply with regards to divorce.
Two of Herod's sons were Herod Philip and Herod Antipas. Herod Philip married a woman called Herodias. When Herod Antipas visited his brother, he wanted Herodias for a wife for himself. So Herod Antipas divorced his own wife, and married Herodias. She, of course, had to divorce Herod Philip first. The Jewish law does not permit such behaviour (Leviticus 18:16 and 20:21). John the Baptist said this was wrong. When he did this, he made Herodias very angry. So Herod Antipas ordered John's arrest.
For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her. (Matthew 14:4 KJV)
