Subject: Can a woman divorce man: Ongoing porn? |
Bible Note: Bandaid, I've been reading several of your posts and I see your dilemma and I respect it. You are earnest about keeping to God's Word regardless of how difficult. Your heart is strong and your willingness to press on in difficult times (5 years) is evident. You're asking about women divorcing a man when scriptures speak the other way around. You are right that the scriptures speak in only one direction. I'll leave it to others to debate it, but your situation isn't hypothetical, it is real. If your children, or you, are not physically and sexually safe, then you need to leave. Separation isn't divorce and I don't think anyone can find any place in scripture that would force a woman and her young children to remain in an unsafe environment. Any law in the Bible is about life and peace (wholeness), not about forcing people into physical or sexual harm. In other words, if your children are abused, you have the obligation to protect them. My wife's mom did not, and it was dreadful. MJH |
