Thank you for posting an introduction in the intro. forum and for suggesting a Scripture verse:
LUKE 6:41 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
Quote:
I don't know if it is right for me to judge others

Jesus is talking about righteous judgement. There are people claiming to be righteous who nevertheless occasionally do sinful things. Such people are not Christians and therefore, Jesus is explaining, ineligible to judge others. Although from birth everyone is full of sin and deserving of everlasting torment, once Jesus removes that blot the sinful life becomes impossible. Only then is it valid to judge others. Additionally, Christians will judge angels – in the fulness of time. Perhaps that's a verse you could look up for your reply?
[HINT: it's in I CORINTHIANS ch. 6]
You mentioned various categories of spouse. The question of consummation is simple: if it has not occurred there is no marriage. That's why annulment is distinguished from divorce. Concerning the wretch who springs her atheism on you as a surprise after the event, again there is no room for opinions from me. God has preempted your enquiry as follows:
For what knowest thou . . . O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?
