  Divorce for emotional abuse?

  by somebodylovesme in

  1. jw

  because of a recent family situation (always a good time!

  ), i've been in a debate with a jw relative about whether the society permits divorce (without remarriage) where there is emotional abuse.

  this relative swears the literature has said that a person can leave her spouse where there is emotional abuse, but that she cannot remarry.

  An end to domestic violence
  

  Quoted from jw org "An end to domestic violence "

  "a legal divorce or a legal separation may provide a measure of protection from further abuse.”​—March 15, 1983, pages 28-9; see also the issue of November 1, 1988, pages 22-3.

  What a victim chooses to do in these circumstances must be a personal decision. “Each one will carry his [or her] own load.” (Galatians 6:5) No one else can make such a decision for her. And no one should try to pressure her to return to an abusive husband where her health, life, and spirituality are threatened. That must be her own choice, of her own free will, not because others are trying to impose their will on her.​—See Philemon 14."
