Answer:
He clearly stated that marriage is to be a permanent bond between one man and one woman. To break it off and marry another is adultery (Mark 10:11–12).
Jesus affirmed (and still affirms) the permanence of the marriage bond. But He also acknowledged that because of the depravity of the human heart, the marriage bond might be severed under certain circumstances.
Matthew 19:9:
I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.
