Bible Question: If a woman who has never been married marries a divorced man is that adultry? |
Bible Answer: Hi fredfred, This is not a cut and dried question, but depends on whether the divorce was Biblically based. The main issue is whether or not the divorced man is a completely innocent party to the divorce. It is also signifacant to question whether it is a good idea to marry someone who was previously married, and their marraige failed. No marriage should be entered into without serious prayer and counsel, and especially if one or both of the parties has been divorced. This is something that should be taken up with one's pastor. I hope this helps! Love in Christ, Mark |
