Q&A (off-topic): Divorced woman who was cheated on and physically abused asks if remarrying would be adultery after her ex-husband has now married his fifth wife.
Viewer question from 'Truth Watch' about remarriage after divorce involving infidelity and abuse.
Mike's response: even if the initial divorce was not justified, the ex-husband's subsequent remarriage constitutes adultery (per Jesus's teaching) which finalizes the dissolution of the original marriage. Therefore remarrying would not be adultery. Mike qualifies this with significant hesitance, acknowledging he hasn't fully worked through all relevant passages, and urges the viewer to sit with scripture independently (especially Jesus's marriage teachings and 1 Corinthians 7).
