Jesus and Those Who Remarry after an Invalid Divorce

What would Jesus say about those who remarry after an invalid divorce? I agree with this observation of Instone-Brewer:

There is nothing to suggest that Jesus asked anyone to separate from the second husband or wife if one had remarried after an invalid divorce. Technically the marriage was adulterous, but if this was applied literally, then there would be huge confusion and disruption to people’s lives and families. This is presumably why the divorce saying found its way into the Sermon on the Mount. Just as someone who hates his brother is not to be prosecuted for murder, so one who has remarried is not to be accused in court of committing adultery.49
