You may believe these things, but many do not, so it would not be wise to impose your religious beliefs upon others. How would you like it if another religion had the majority of people and dictated how you should live your life?
I suspect you are young. As you gain more life experience you learn that things are not so "black and white." Sometimes there is a good reason to divorce (adultery, abuse, addictions, extreme irresponsibility of the spouse, etc.).
You have the right to make your own choices, but please don't impose them upon others. It is arrogant and ignorant to do so.

I see nothing wrong with a religious institution having laws against divorced persons from remarrying. I believe that the Catholic church already has this law to some extent. Since marriage is a religious rite, religious institutions have a right to decide what laws they want to enforce concerning that rite.
Secular marriage (or civil unions) are not religious events so the government should make the laws concerning them. The government has no right to dictate to a church what/who it needs to accept/deny for a religious rite and religious institutions have no right to dictate to the government what/who they should accept/deny regarding secular marriage/civil unions.
If you feel that religious institutions should be able to dictate to the government about this issue, how would you feel if they included rules from other religions such as Islam, Hinduism, or Buddhism? Should their religious doctrines be a part of the governments laws too? Should the government require you to uphold the standards of the Qur'an? Or do you think it would be unfair for the government to make you uphold the sacred text of a religion that you don't believe in?

If it could prevent the production of more children, that that might be a good idea. Having worked with divorced and single fathers for 18 years, I've seen the problems related to multiple marriages and relations. It is one of the reasons why I promote the idea of bird nest custody arrangements, where the children get joint custody of the parents, with each living in the house for three weeks. Neither can get married or have more children until the first ones are grown. There is always time to have more.

So because my parents got divorced after 33 years because there was nothing left of their relationship and they were both unhappy and miserable, if they find happiness again they shouldn't be allowed to get married and be happy??? Or if they rekindle things and want to get married again and be happy???? Or I can't marry my fiance because he is divorced??? How about people who were in an abusive relationship and got divorced??? They re not allowed either?? That's psychotic. This is the real world hun. Divorce isn't a mortal sin. Yes, some people abuse marriage, but what about the normal people who just had a bad experience with one???? Think outside your sheltered box.

Islam has a similar law actually. Divorce is allowed in islam under certain circumstances (you can't just get divorced because you're sick of the person etc.). It's reversible twice but after the third time the woman must go and be married to another man and be divorced from him before coming back to her initial husband - basically it's a pretty difficult situation and so it rarely happens that she goes back to the first husband.

Well, if some law of this sort was passed it would certainly make people think twice before jumping in and out of marriage. Many people just get married and the second they hit a bump in the road they are signing the divorce papers and moving on - it's ridiculous.

nicely, I continuously assumed that i'd be married with a pair young ones by skill of now. (i'm 27.) you already know, the entire married, 2.5 young ones, a canines & a white wooden fence. nicely... I also have a million of the youngsters, the canines & the homestead with the wooden fence. maximum appropriate now i'm rather happy with the way my life is. i assume sometime if the main appropriate guy got here alongside i'd nonetheless desire to get married, besides the reality that the huge fancy church wedding ceremony is way less and much less significant. i assume better than something i'd purely like a companion, somebody to share the enjoyed ones standard jobs.

You actually let a church dictate to you something like this? You must be kidding with this-what you say. If you are serious and you think remarrying is a sin, don't do it. But, you have no right to tell others what they can or cannot do. Most people would never let a church control them this much.

That would be wrong, because then you are promoting adultery. Because if a divorced person can not get married then s/he would go off and will have sex with a diff rent person (out of mar ridge) every time to satisfy his/her sexual needs.
