Bible Discussion Thread

I have a complicated question. My girlfriend was once married to a man, but they are now divorced. However, he already have a wife before her. She was forced married by her parent to be the second wife against her will. After married, she was abused and her ex-husband slept with other women. Eventually, he got caught abusing her and was put to jail. They both file for divorce. Now she's my girlfriend. I want to marry her but it's difficult. I understand that if a man divorces his wife makes him commit adultery and when he remarried. She was forced into a marriage and paid the price for it. Is she still bound to him for being the second wife? The first wife did not divorce with him. Also, will this still be considered committing adultery even though she was forced to be second wife? Am i considered someone who committed adultery? Can I marry her?

I suggest DATING. That is when you really get to know what that person likes; what they do with their time; money; how they honor their parents;

Do they own a Bible? Do you see them read it? If you say we need to conserve moneydo they do it? Has any of her ex's stalked her; threatened her?

You need to date till you've answered many of these questions.

Read 1 Corinthians 7, the marriage chapter. If your Bible has center of each page columns, read those references too.

Certainly read 1 Corinthians 13

Selah means, pause, and think on these things.
