"...her first husband, who divorced her, is not allowed to marry her again after she has been defiled. That would be detestable in the eyes of the LORD."
Dt 24:4

"And whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery." Mt 5:32

So, only to leave all men and stay without them to the end of her life? Is it practiced in our churches today? If not, why?

this is one of many things not practiced today, not to mention the divorce and remarriage issue is greatly misunderstood and misapplied, in part because of translation issues and misunderstandings of certain terms.. such as put away and divorce... many treat them as if they are the same...

Was her first husband an adulterer?

There is a bible verse that says let young widows remarry and if the unbelieving spouse leaves, the believer can remarry.

So was her husband an unbeliever?

I don't believe most God fearing men would leave their wives, but I have been told i have been kind of sheltered.

I am talking rather about a woman who left her husband and got divorced. Not that man left her.

And we can take both possibilities - that her husband could be faithful to her and also that not.

Oh,,,,, well why did she leave him?

Was he abusive?

Commit adultery?

Those are the only two reasons I can think of to leave my husband.

If he is faithful, she should remain single but she probably has someone on the side already unless he was abusive,then he would be an unbeliever.

Unfaithful, means she is free to remarry.

well with the old testament mind sets there seems to be idea that women are chattel and have no rights

why quote from the OT?

maybe a woman leaves because she is afraid for her life and her husband sees prostitutes and then lies constantly

those kind of men seldom leave their wives. they might kill them though

1 Corinthians 6:15-20 ESV

Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never! Or do you not know that he who is joined to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For, as it is written, “The two will become one flesh.” But he who is joined to the Lord becomes one spirit with him. Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, ...

Romans 7:2 ESV

For a married woman is bound by law to her husband while he lives, but if her husband dies she is released from the law of marriage.

1 Corinthians 7:15 ESV

But if the unbelieving partner separates, let it be so. In such cases the brother or sister is not enslaved. God has called you to peace.

how convenient

yet God looks on the heart and the Bible says He sees the sparrow fall and knows how many hairs are on our heads

do you suppose He takes each case individually also like He did with the woman at the well?

or better yet, are you not aware of the liberal easy divorce thing Jewish men had going on?

as in I divorce you I divorce you I divorce you and then just wiggle over to the next female who thinks she won't be treated the same way

I think what you are quoting refers to a frivolous divorce, as in I don't like how you eat your lamb chops and get your fingers all greasy so I'm outta here

Hi trof! It's not practiced in the church because ALL things are lawful for Christians.

is that the actual question here?

or is the actual question what does Jesus say about divorce

Ariel supplied some scripture

let's take a look see at that
