What does god think about divorce?

Question

when is it ok to leave?

Answer 1

Some say it's ok if there's beating or cheating. Some give the thumbs up for a split up only if there's been beating. Still others won't give the green light for a split no matter what.

I couldn't tell you what "god" thinks because you haven't specified which god. I only know about human perspectives at this point.

Answer 2

In Qur'an God spoke that God hates divorce.So God allow divorce as the only last solution as emergency for a disharmony marriage.In a disharmony family there is 4 stages od solution eg (1)discuss each other between husband and wife for a respectable solution with a tranparant communication (2)give advice to the family by a representative from the husband family and the wife family (3) separate their bed room in a house and husband can beat tenderly his wife if she could not accept the good advice and (4) the last one get divorce.
The disharmony family can not be proplonged in bad situation if each other would not accept the good solution withourt divorce.

Answer 3

Which God do you speak of? My Gods and Goddesses say that sometimes people just have to split. usually for valid reasons. this is why in the hand fasting ceremonies the clergy will usually suggest a time limit on the hand fasting which at which point it can be broken or renewed. Usually its for a year the first time, 5 the second, 10 the third, till death the 4th, and through this life and all following lives for the 5th one. But my faith believes in reincarnation so it depends on which religion your looking at.

Answer 4

"God hates a divorcing."

I'll be back when I find the Scripture...

**Edit to add**
I was close lol.. it's Malachi 2:16 "For he has hated a divorcing,"
also Matthew 5:31, 32 says: "“Moreover it was said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.’ 32 However, I say to YOU that everyone divorcing his wife, except on account of fornication, makes her a subject for adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery."

Fornication is the ONLY Scriptural grounds for a DIVORCE.
But people may separate for other reasons- physical, emotional abuse, not being taken care of physically (no house to live in sort of things)... spiritual danger (when one spouse opposes the others beliefs).

**Edit for another Scripture**
Mark 10:2-12 "Pharisees now approached and, to put him to the test, began questioning him whether it was lawful for a man to divorce a wife. 3 In answer he said to them: “What did Moses command YOU?” 4 They said: “Moses allowed the writing of a certificate of dismissal and divorcing [her].” 5 But Jesus said to them: “Out of regard for YOUR hardheartedness he wrote YOU this commandment. 6 However, from [the] beginning of creation ‘He made them male and female. 7 On this account a man will leave his father and mother, 8 and the two will be one flesh’; so that they are no longer two, but one flesh. 9 Therefore what God yoked together let no man put apart.” 10 When again in the house the disciples began to question him concerning this. 11 And he said to them: “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her, 12 and if ever a woman, after divorcing her husband, marries another, she commits adultery.”"

Answer 5

God is not going to punish you for leaving someone. Do you really think God gives a hoot?
If your unhappy, go make yourself happy, if you have tried all you can and you want out, then make your decision and good luck with it.
There is no glory in staying in an unhappy marriage, I doubt God is waiting to say 'Oh you were miserable all your life but you stuck with it, well done.' What possible good could that do anyone?
None.
Tough when things break up but do you need to know what others think God would think if God really cared?
If its a real situation and you want out, then maybe its just about admitting what you really want yourself and God is best left out of it.

Answer 6

Adultry

Answer 7

its not good to divorce for petty reasons wen it can be avoided it should one should try thier best to make things work that wil be better for them and the better thing to do. but Allah is most mercyful if things cannot be resolved, he does not wish to put one in hardship and unhappiness, in which case it would be permissable

Answer 8

Jesus said for very compelling reasons , like adultery, one may think about divorce.But He also taught that to forgive others so God may forgive us,

Answer 9

Malachi 2:16 "I hate divorce," says the LORD God of Israel. "I hate the person who covers himself with violence," says the LORD of Hosts. "Be careful not to be unfaithful."

Matthew 19:9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.

Answer 10

God thinks that it god sent in some cases. It is O.K. to leave if it does not make sense anymore to stay. Isn't it clear ?
