Why is divorce a sin? Why is it a sin to marry a divorced person? This makes no sense. Wouldn't God want humans to have a happy relationship instead of an unhappy one?
>>18625825Women belong to their husbands and their husbands took an oath under God to always care and provide for them. So she cannot leave him because he owns her and he cannot leave her because he would be breaking the oath he made to God when he married her.If you sleep with a woman who abandoned her husband you will be charged with the sin of adultery and adultery is a sin that is paid with death.
>>18625840He is allowed to marry a second wife but he is obligated to care and provide for his first wife all the days of her life.
>>18625846This was in a time when women didn't have jobs available, there were no employees hiring or government welfare so if the man didn't provide for her she will literally be homeless and starve to death.This is why God commands to take care of widows and their orphans and it's a bit deal to him. Because a woman without a man had nothing and no one to care for her.
Saw first hand an unhappy marriage with my aunt and uncle, ending in her "hanging around" with another man as my uncle died from cancer. Yes, they were Catholic, so despite fighting every single day they "couldn't" get divorced. Even if they were basically not together in the last few months of my uncle's life.
>>18625856I'm those days men could just buy virgin wives from their fathers so nobody would bother marring a woman who had already slept with another man or had kids. So if he divorced her no man would want her any and she would have no one to care for her.Today men marry women who had many men before and had many kids because they no longer have access to marry virgins. If men today could easily marry a virgin no one would bother with single moms and promiscuous women.Promiscuity back then was a death sentence for women because no one would marry her and she couldnt survive without a husband.Fathers were desperate looking for a man to marry their daughters early while they were still young and beautiful so they had a chance at surviving and the father couldn't afford to provide for all his daughters.But his son's would work for him so they were a net positive to a father.
>>18625881Before government welfare the majority of homeless and poor people were women. And It still is the case in developing countires. But after the government created welfare to give free money, food and housing to single mothers and promiscuous women, and men are no longer allowed to raise a community of sons to work for him, now the majority of the poor and homeless are men and women don't need them to survive.
>>18625895Women's welfare is a punishment from God on men for pornography and degeneracy.
>>18625858He would've been happy if he could marry a second wife and God would have made his wife humble and submissive who accepts it if he didn't desire her to do degenerate things to him.
