I think that Jeshua commented on some tolerance of Moses, to allow divorce just because somebody did not -like- his wife.
If a wife or husband committed adultery, he/she would be free to remarry. But adultery was no longer the only reason for divorce. This is why the disciples answered; "Then it would be better not to marry at all!"
So Jeshua added, "What God has united cannot divided by a man."
So of course, if a married man 'takes an unmarried woman', he commits adultery. I think this is rather obvious for those who listened to Jeshua?
Just my 2 cents.
