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?

I am seeing all kinds of answers here that seem a bit contradictory to each other. But fascinating nonetheless!

Under WT rules, can JW women file for a divorce? Or can only men file?

Thank you, Listener. Just to broaden the discussion further, what else constitutes adultery?

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.

Wow. I had always thought that if her life was endangered or if there was "complete spiritual endangerment" she was allowed to file.

I learned of it from this comment on facebook, which is very interesting:

I never bought the shit & was never baptized so couldn't be disfellowshipped as a publisher, but I completely disassociated myself both verbally & in writing. Further, after several years of continued abuse, I pretty much reverse shunned my mother...forced her to practice what she preaches and not speak to a disassociated publisher and proud, very public, very vocal apostate. She still tries to call every couple months. I just don't answer...I don't even give her the satisfaction of hearing my voice cuss her out anymore, not for over three years now. Even if she were to leave the cult, I don't think I'd speak to her...can't forgive her for supporting them, especially through the Sister Sandy Ford
killing spree and all the molestation. Those of you struggling with parents who are shunning you, find a chosen family to replace them & remember they were no good to have in your life if they would choose a cult over you...better off without them (lest they Sister Sandy Ford your kids bc "it is better to die of the Lord than to live amongst The World" with apostate parents, yeah, these crazy fucks kill their grandkids when given access, why would anyone WANT to speak to them?) & the constant "when are you coming back to Jehovah?" bullshit, for real. My life is so much more peaceful & generally happy since I cut my toxic mother out of it.
