Hmmm...every other Bible says:

And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and he that marrieth her when she is put away committeth adultery. (English Revised)

And I say to you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and he that shall marry her that is put away, committeth adultery. (Douay-Rheims)

And I say to you, Whoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, commits adultery: and whoever marries her which is put away does commit adultery. (American KJV)

And I say to you: whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery.” (English Standard Version)

To: boatbums
Sexual relations within an unlawful marriage would be fornication. In any case it is the question of the proper translation of the Greek word porneia. This is a complicated and disputed question so I would ask that we not get sidetracked here. I simply quoted from the approved New American Bible which can be found at the USCCB website at the link I provided.
