But is the text used in the Gospels against adultery or against divorce? >>

Short answer, yes. More specifically, CD, Matt 19 & Mark 10 attack
polygamy.
In the gospels divorce is not recognized, so male divorce and remarriage is
polygamy. By attacking polygamy Jesus attacks male remarriage as adultery.
I would like to see some more speculation on why Acts does not have
Paul's response to the decree of Acts 15.
