Of course it is binding. Marriage is the joining to one flesh, by God. My distinction is not about a person who unknowingly "commits adultery" by marrying someone 10 years after divorcing someone else, but rather, ...
Matt 5:32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
It seems to me that “whosoever shall marry her that is divorced” is bound into a relationship that is continuously adultery, even after ten years.

Many people living in such relationships don't even realize that the Church considers there relationship "adulterous". I am speaking about a person who willfully is committing adultery. I am not speaking about ecclesiastical questions, but the person who knows they are commiting adultery. That is a slavery to the sin of adultery. A person who marries someone, not realizing that the Church considers their relationship "adulterous", is not in the same position as one who cheats on their spouse.
