Why do Mormons allow divorce if Jesus said that divorce is not allowed except for fornication?

Summary: It is my understanding that Jesus taught divorce was not acceptable unless fornication had occured. (Matthew 5:31-32) Why does the Church allow divorce when not for this reason? Shouldn't these people either be disfellowshipped or excommunicated? Why does the church permit re-marrying?
