Jesus noted one exception that does not make a remarried person committing adultery: Matthew 19:9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife,

except it be for fornication,

and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.

Your interpretation cannot be correct because it would conflict with Mark 10:11-12, Luke 16:18, and Cor. 10-11. "put away his wife, except it be for fornication" refers to a marriage that is not legitimate according to divine law such as a common law or incestuous marriage. See:
