sounds like another one of those rules that some hear about and others don't. I had a man pushing me to the brink of suicide if he could have purposely and even lied about being able to have sex (no we behaved and didn't test it out). But the elders told me not 8 months ago that I couldn't divorce him. I couldn't even separate. I could have received an anullment in the laws of the land but we can't honor that. And tell me this, I am willing to bet that IF some parents found out their kids got married but yet had not had sex, ran to the elders, some cong would say go get an anullment. There has not been a consumation of the marriage. So then and anullment would be oK? but I marry a guy who can't and it isn't recognized. (yes I am bitter and this was my eye opener to get out) Not to mention because he did not yet have a green card he couldn't work and was bleeding me dry financially. I was almost evicted twice due to lack of funds.
So like I said.. bet this is a rule someone said was ok for her but not necessarily a unified one coming from the WTBS.
ok I'll stop rambling. But if finances are enough for her and the fact he questions the society, boy that burns. It's ok though. If they had been more understanding, maybe I'd still be blind. In the long run I think I am better off.
