AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 19:12 "For there are eunuchs who have been born that way from their mother's womb [making them incapable of consummating a marriage]; and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by men [for royal service]; and there are eunuchs who have made themselves so for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. He who is able to accept this, let him accept it." |
Bible Question:
Emmaus, Can a marriage be annulled Biblically? Or is it something the church and state allow? Searcher |
Bible Answer: Searcher, As I pointed out before a declaration of nullity is a statement that a marriage never existed. A marriage that does not exist is not a marriage and the question is not addressed that I am aware in scripture. Unless you consider God's judgement on Onan who entered into fraudulently pretended to enter into Leverite marriage with Tamar with no intention of raising up children to his brother's name. A statement of nullity is not the same as a divorce which acknowledges that a marriage existed. It is something that Church and state recognize. Emmaus |
