No, she can not and her rapist is never allowed to divorce her either
as written here.
Deuteronomy 22:28-29 (King James Version)


28If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;
29Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days.

And again, what if she doesn't have a father and let's say that if I were to rape a virgin woman should I then give her father $50 or would I have to custom make these fifty shekels?

Then what if she isn't a virgin or the rapist doesn't give the father fifty shekels of silver?

If you noticed in the quote that passage concerns a virgin. If she is not a virgin then she is a sinner in the eyes of God and most likely a prostitute which means she is owed monies.
If she were a virgin and refuses to pay her father then that is a civil court matter and would be decided there.

Sorry, type error
Then if a woman is raped can she divorce her rapist "after" they get married.

Re: Am I Permitted to Remarry?

Do you have Scripture to back this up? Where in the Bible does it say that the Lord commands us to follow wedding vows? Those are just mindless pomp and circumstance that incompatible couples say at the ceremony to give the illusion that there's something more to the relationship than an unintended pregnancy.

Re: Am I Permitted to Remarry?

I think I should tell you guys this.
No you're not allowed to remarry because neither one of you are dead.
During the marriage you said yes to the "To The Do You Part" part so in the eyes of the lord you're still married, in fact everyone who has had a divorce has sinned and if you're remarried and slept with an other woman then that adultery so that's a double sin or as we like to call it "A all paid trip to hell"

Re: Am I Permitted to Remarry?

I entered into a Christian marriage with a man whom I believed to be in perfect concordance with God's Will as expressed in the KJV Bible. He even had a KJV--the Scofield edition.

That's the problem right there. You were involved with a man who read a Satan-inspired translation of the Bible, and that has ruined the rest of your life. Luckily, you have found your way to Jesus and the 1611 version of the King James Bible, God's Only True Bible(R), so you will at least spend an eternity with Jesus after you die.

He expected me to officially join his church and I resisted.

That was the Holy Ghost guiding you.

I began reading science books and looking into "feminist spirituality" as an alternative to Christianity.

Then Satan took over again.

As a True Christian™ pastor, and having been married five times, I am one of the world's foremost experts on this subject. No, it is not okay to get remarried. Sister Mary Maria posted some excellent Scripture explaining divorce. Jesus pretty much spells it out for us: Divorce is forbidden, except in the case of cheating spouses.

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.

Since you did not divorce based on adultery, you cannot get married again. If you were to marry again, that would be tantamount to adultery. And we know where vile adulterers go....

I think maybe there is a way out of this dilemma. Luckily, after you were married but before Jesus forgave your sins and you were reborn in Christ as a True Christian(TM), you did fornicate. All you need to do is to get your ex husband to spiritually divorce you for your fornication, and then you will be free to remarry.

Re: Am I Permitted to Remarry?

Sister, did your ex-husband cheat on you or perhaps have lustful thoughts about other females?

[handmaiden]

Re: Am I Permitted to Remarry?

Thanks to my brothers in Christ for pondering my concerns.

So, if I am to understand, I am not permitted to marry again even though my former husband did marry with the blessing of his church.

If I cannot remarry for fear of becoming an adulteress, should my ex take me back? Does that mean that he will have to put aside his current wife? And is he committing adultery with her?

If he is committing adultery with her, then can I divorce him and remarry? And what of his first wife? He married her in the Catholic Church and divorced her around the time he joined his church. He told me that she had fooled around on him. This was the justification for his right to remarry in his church.

It seems strange to me that I am, in essence, still married because I didn't committ adultery and would be guilty of adultery now if I remarried. Meanwhile, he divorced me for reasons other than adultery and is now married to someone else with whom he is not committing adultery.

But if he divorced her now so that he could take me back, since I didn't committ adultery, he would be committing adultery if she didn't committ adultery. Except, if she is with a man who is married to another woman in God's eyes, is she committing adultery?

Perhaps more prayer would help? At least with the headache?

Handmaiden

Re: Am I Permitted to Remarry?

Sister Handmaiden,

Quite the conundrum indeed and as you are a very lovely woman, in mind, body and spirit. I can appreciate that God loves you and that as such, if a suitable mate comes your way, then you should jump at the opportunity.

You said your now ex-husband has re-married. I do appreciate the compassionate and loving Rev. Jim has advised you of scripture that pretty much makes you an old maid from here on in, however I was wondering, do you have any proof that your ex-husband was having "thoughts"(lustful) about other women when you were married to him? I ask as if that was the case, then you could state that at least part of the reason for the divorce was adultery on HIS part.

I was watching a captivating video the other day with the very wise Kirk Cameron and Ray Comfort and they spoke of specific verses where the mind of lustful thoughts IS adultery! They also spoke of other types of lewd immorality which could also have played part in the downfall of your marriage.

I have listed them below. There could well be a viable case for you to remarry with your goodstanding in tact.

Matthew 5:27-30 | 1 Peter 2:11 | Romans 8:13 | Romans 6:12 | 1 Corinthians 6:13 | Galatians 5:17 | Philippians 4:8 | 2 Timothy 2:22 | Psalm 101:2,3 | Proverbs 6:25-29 | Proverbs 5:18-20 | Proverbs 8:13 | Job 31:1-4 | Matthew 5:8 | Romans 8:6 | 1 Corinthians 6:9 | 1 Corinthians 6:18-19 | 2 Corinthians 10:5, 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5 | James 1:15; 4:3 | 1 John 2:16

These verses may well be a good read over a nice cup of tea.

I do hope that helped somewhat.

YIC,

Phebe.

Re: Am I Permitted to Remarry?

I would take a good long look at your old church.

Was it a True Christian(TM) Church? Was your baptism a real baptism?

I'm disturbed that your husband took his marriage vows so lightly.

But I'm not a pastor, so I can't give you the official word.
