If the pagan marriage was always valid after the conversion of one of the parties if the other party now wishes to seperate, St. Paul could not give such an instruction.

You misread that scripture..try again

It is a declaration that God never joined this man and this woman, because they failed to follow the requisite form, or did not intend to actually contract a Christian marriage.

What is the "required " form..and who required it..

What was the required form when Christ lived?

I'm sorry, did someone die and make you the Popessa? Because otherwise, its my personal interpretation of scripture and just as valid as whatever you think you are coming up with.

The form is the mutual consent by the spouses to live in a Christian marriage (permanent, indissoluble, procreative, blessed by the Church). Christ required it. The requirement at the time of Christ was the same other than blessing by the Church, which did not exist yet, and this requirement of form had existed from the beginning of time. (St. Matthew 19.4)
