QUESTION: A woman has been involved in an adulterous relationship with a married man. The man’s wife has died. Is the woman now free to scripturally marry the widower?
ANSWER: If the widower and the woman with whom he had been involved were not previously married or married, but scripturally divorced, i.e., for the cause of fornication, and both truly repent, then they may scripturally marry (Matthew 5:32; Matthew 19:1-9; Romans 7:1-3).
