    Christian and Muslim View on Marriage

    Marriage What are the Christian teachings on remarriage? Christians look to the bible for advice. I found a passage about divorce. In the bible it says: Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her. And if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery. (St Mark 10:11-12) This means that remarriage isn’t allowed in the eyes of the Lord brought them together and nothing should part them.
