The reason I ask is because while watching the "Dateline" episode about Ralph Candelario, the claim was made that only JW men could file for divorce, not women.
I had never thought about this before.
Also, how does this apply in cases where a husband is "apostate" while the wife is faithful to WT?
A woman can file for divorce from the JWS perspective, only if her husband commits adultery.
If he beats her senseless or rapes her and egregiously abuses her, she still can not.
Wow. I had always thought that if her life was endangered or if there was "complete spiritual endangerment" she was allowed to file.
Well ... you have to understand ... what is printed and how things really are, are two totally different things.
So women really aren't allowed to file for divorce? (Other than adultery).
I'm sorry to keep asking, I just want to know for sure that this is really the way it is.
One of the reasons men latch onto religions is that they preconceive in doing so puts them in the drivers seat of power and control particularly over their submissive subordinate wives or woman in general.
Emulating the social moral standards of the ancient Hebrews has its perks and privileges.
what else constitutes adultery?
Homosexuality but not foreplay.
Sexual misconduct still isn't grounds for divorce.
