Bible Question:
no they didn't consummate it. But since the vow they made with their mouths a lie, doesn't it make the marriage void? Are you saying that sexual intercourse with anyone outside of marriage makes one married in the eyes of God? |
Bible Answer: Greetings RT! Since the situation you are asking about is a modern one, allow me to address the modern issues. 1) Whether they were in love or not means nothing! If there was a valid marriage license signed and turned into the state, then the couple is married. 2) What Kalos was asking concerns the fact that in some states, a marriage that has not been consummated, can be annulled. If the marriage is annulled, it legally never happened. Each state has it's own guidelines and restrictions. I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
