Bible Question (short): could use your wisdom |
Question (full): Thanx Doc for your insight regarding my questions. I don't know if you've seen my question regarding my friend who married someone through the justice of the peace in order to help them get their citizenship, but I'd like to know what your opinion is of this. Please note that this person didn't marry the illegal alien because she believed she was really marrying him...ie. it wasn't like this impulse of "hey I love you let's get married" and then realized she made a mistake. She believed she was helping this person and that since it wasn't a marriage in a church before God, that it wasn't ultimately true. She prayed before God and declared to him this was not a genuine oath of marriage. At the time, she didn't think the law of deportation was just and believed she was helping a person in need. Since then, she realizes this was a poor decision because she deceived the state and did something illegal. I've been showing her the responses from this thread and she is freaking out. She never would have done this if she thought God would have recognized it as a real marriage. What is she supposed to do? Try to have a relationship/marriage with this estranged person she helped several years ago? He is not even a christian and both her and this guy are now in separate relationships of their own. She hopes to marry the christian man she is involved with now. Is she committing adultery? Since the illegal alien friend she married falsely would not want to be with her, is she doomed to remain single for the rest of her life? I could really use your wisdom regarding this. She is devastated. Also note that after the guy got his citizenship, they legally divorced. |
