The divorce exception Jesus spoke of in the Scriptures, allowed divorce for unlawful (invalid) incestious marriages (one of the meanings of Pornea).

What is your basis for suggesting that Jesus was speaking only of this particular meaning of Pornea ?

It's not the only basis. Fornication, another translation of pornea, is grounds for divorce of an unconsumated marriage (betrothal).
