"I have no husband," she replied.
Jesus said to her, "You are right when you say you have no husband.
The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have just said is quite true."
J 4:18
How are you understanding this verse in the light of other verses like "a women is bound to her husband till he lives" and others?
Some can say that all 5 already died, but it seems quite improbable, she was not that old. Also, the context seems to be about her sinful life, not about some chain of dying husbands.
