No, it does not forbid divorce. It forbids re-marriage after being divorced.

Not quite. As explained unambiguosly in Canon Law, the Church does not recognize civil divorce in a valid consummated mariage.

Can. 1141 A marriage which is ratified and consummated cannot be dissolved by any human power or by any cause other than death.

Well actually it just forbids re-marriage in the Catholic church and you cannot take communion anymore.
