Originally posted by robbie carrobieWell, I find your attitude to divorce doctrinaire and little else. Your stance does not seem "moral" at all. It sounds like something you have taken from a book, and it sounds like the fact you have taken it from a book is more important to you than the physical violence or the marital rape we are ostensibly discussing.
Of course it doesn't, you have your own morality.
What moral or virtuous outcome is there from not allowing a woman, who is victimized by a man in these sorts of ways, to divorce him? I get it that there is something written in your book which says something about "fornication" but fails to mention physical violence and marital rape, but the fact that it is written in a book, in and of itself, does not make adhering to it moral.
What is the good that is created by disallowing a beaten or raped woman from divorcing her tormentor, and marrying someone else?
