text: That is the reason for divorce- adultery.\n\nMatthew 19:9\nI tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, and marries another woman commits adultery."\n\n--except for marital unfaithfulness--\n\nBut other than that, yes the Bible says God hates divorce. So if your husband cheated on you- you should not feel guilty for divorcing him. And especially if he beated you. I am glad you are not with him anymore...Praise God for that!
