if jesus was a jew why didn't he have a wife wasn't it against jewish customs for him not to have a wife and if he had a reason why is it not in the bible?
the other two are self explanatory and if u answer them have facts not bible testimony for the two after the wife question.

No Jewish leader of the time would be unmarried. Also, people lived for far shorter periods of time and were frequently married at the rip old age of 14 or so. From a Jewish point of view the whole story of Jesus doesn't add up. It is so full of holes as to make it ludicrous. From a tale altered to suit a pagan audience in order to make it more palatable for them to embrace in converting it makes a lot of sense. God is not anthropomorphic in Judaism, he is in Christianity. Jewish leaders are not divine or of divine descent (other than the spark of God that is in everyone), but the heroes and leaders in the Pagan world frequently had a divine parent, kings/emperors/the ceasars claimed direct descent from the gods and to rule in the name of the gods etc. A leader that was just a plain old mortal lkike thee and me would not have been palatable to the pagan audience that paul and later Constantine was trying to get to adhere to Christianity- Paul from religious conviction, Constantine for political purposes.

Jesus was a jew. The fact that he didn't have a wife, is, first off, not an established historical fact, and may be myths created to make him seem divine, and, if he really didnt, he could have just been not a good jew. Not every christian follows every law, not every jew follows every law.
For it not being in the bible, theres no reason for it to have been in the bible.

You are quite correct that to be a Jewish leader he must have had a wife. But then along came christians, who consider women work of the devil, and so his wife was erased from history. A couple of books in the past 20 years have discussed this and who his wife most likely was.

Why would a man in his early thirties get married when he was about to die. Men were not married early then and it wasn't unusual for men in the church to not be married. He stated that he was married to the church. He was not there to be one with a woman and have a family. That wasn't why he was sent down. He was sent to die for sinners and to tell them of the great hope of him. Well the other two are as easy. Jesus declared himself as being God. He established his own divinity. Also his deciples spred the word of the gospel. They also wrote several books of the bible.
