If the divorce is caused by infidelity, they can re marry
Marriage and marital life have nothing to do with salvation and entering the kingdom of God. A divorcee is free to marry again, as long as he or she chooses too, what God is against is fornication and adultery.

Apostle Paul was a divorcee, and only chosed not marry again, but he advised those that can keep their body to marry again. And again it's better to divorce than remain in a abusive and loveless marriage that won't offer you anything other than agony and regrets. Pls choose happiness and Godliness

There is no freedom of divorce in christian marriage, but if any of them choose to separate from his or her partner, there can't be remarriage.

In Islam they can remarry but the partner must have married and divorced another person before it can be possible.
Alhamdulillahi for Islam. Even if the home is toxic or they are practically incompatible, there is no way out for them. Accept Islam? No. Na wa for them o. Result: cheat, cheat and cheat!

Can a Born Again Christian Marry An APC Member?
APC is just a name of a political party. The people in it are the actual problem

If there is divorce, biblically, couples cannot re-marry except one of the spouse dies.

Any divorced couple who marries another partner when the spouse is still alive is in adultery.
Biblically speaking, if you divorce your spouse you can't re-marry while that spouse is alive. That is why the Bible emphasized that you must make sure you married right because if you don't you have to endure and forgive whatever you see in that marriage.

Jesus stated that anyone who marries a divorced person commits adultery. This is recorded in the King James Version (KJV) across several gospels: Luke 16:18, Matthew 5:32, Matthew 19:9, and Mark 10:11-12

To be forewarned...

Show me where I said it is link to salvation

2. Show me where Paul was declared as a divorcee

The last time I checked, the scripture used UNMARRIED

To the unmarried and the widows I say that it is good for them to remain single, as I am.

I have been reading and hearing of situations where one partner walks out of the marriage and decides or refuses to come back a situation like marriage abandonment (if it can be phrased like that ) what should the other partner do.

Is it true that in Nigeria after 3 years of separation the divorce is automatic, and what is the process.
As in, is it possible to file without lawyers and stuff ??
After three years of separation either of the couple can file in for divorce but there must be a ground for the divorce.

It is believed that after three years possibly neither of you is interested in the marriage .
If you resumes sex iwithin the period the marriage is intact.


How a marriage is contracted determines its dissolution.


Traditional marriage ...... only the return of the dowry ends it



Statutory Marriage ..... High Court is the place of dissolution..


You need lawyers to help you fille the papers.

If you are sure of yourself, why not quote the verse word for word

Una go just dey argue wetin dey black n white
Matthew 19:9 you go and check the Greek word for sexual immorality according to the Greek Bible which is the true version. The word is Porneia, which means furnication.
However youd be wondering, married people cannot commit furnication, only unmarried which is a bit confusing and complicated.

But Jesus speaks by the Spirit of God understands that people of this generation will misinterpret as well as many Bible versions that are misleading.

Porneia which is furnication means that when you don’t meet her as a virgin or when it is a union based on incest , like a brother and a sister . These are Porneia.

Like in Yoruba culture where they take white handkerchief to test the virginity before the real wedding takes place .

But you met her as a virgin or not as a virgin and you agreed to proceed with the marriage and is sealed then , only death can separate you guys apart .

Make she or he dy carry man back to back , you guys are sealed for life . And you cannot chase him or her away , unless they voluntarily leave on their own
Else you commit adultry because you chased her and bring another woman

May God give us more knowledge and understanding. Amen 🙏🏿

7 paragraphs yet you are afraid to quote the scripture...Once again rest in Jesus name

Mt 19: 7-9

Why then,” they asked, “did Moses command that a man give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?”

8 Jesus replied, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning. 9I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.”

You are misquoting the bible, you don't have in-depth knowledge of the word. You think Bible is to be read literally.

The answer to your question is Yes and No, depending on the individual. Read to the end, don't just select that part of the Bible.

Has to stay single, that's the rule. The only exception is if that partner is not alive. That's why the Bible speaks about forgiveness and also obedience.

You are still a baby Christian so no need to go to further with you. Go for revelational knowledge so you can't understand the in-depth knowledge. There is nothing wrong in remarrying after divorce irrespective of the condition.

Stop joining Islam in a topic that doesn't concern Muslims or Islam itself.
Now you are saying what Islam does not say.
In Islam, divorced couple can remarry except the divorce is up to three times. That is when the lady has to marry another person before coming to the first one.

The thread is about Christian and Christianity.

This is nairaland where many people abuse Muslims and northerners especially, anyhow.

And who gave you the right to divorce? “ And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.”(Matthew 19:4-6). Amen.
