Is it sinful for a woman to divorce if,
1. Her husband left eighteen months ago (she thinks that he works down south under the table, but has not been able to find him);
2. He had lost his job (for reasons related to depression);
3. He left after the family lost their home and were faced with a mountain of debt ($170,000--not quite sure where all the debt came from, she found out about much of it after he left).
4. He never cheated.
5. He always treated the wife right;
6. He was a good father until he left;
6. Her lawyer has advised that she should divorce and file for bankruptcy if she is to support her children, restore her credit, and move on with her life (bank had seized her rent money and creditors telephone and threaten litigation and wage garnishment).
To those who advise a woman to follow apostle Paul's words and remain silent in the Church and to ask her husband if she has questions, this illustrates why some Christian women struggle with the verse.
