Matthew had a Jewish audience so of course he would mention that some marriages (as Leviticus details in microscopic detail) are not marriages. If you marry your mother ('except for immorality') then it isn't a marriage. And John the Baptist was killed for that little exception 'except for immorality'.
Depends on the audience...
"for this is what had happened. Herod had ordered John to be arrested and had him bound and put in prison because of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip. Herod had married her and John had told him, «It is not right for you to live with your brother’s wife»"
See the word 'marriage' ? Even the Bible uses it. And then says 'but no'.

NASB, obviously. KJV is in a dead dialect. But that doesn't mean it wasn't also translated with a specific translation philosophy. A different one than the KJV, but still you don't magically get the exact intent of the original authors.

It means if a man divorces his wife to marry another has commited adultery., unless his wife was first unfaithful.

They are both saying the same thing
Except you left off part of the NASB or the NASB left out the part
