"That being said though on a Catholic thread do you believe people who remarry are committing adultery?"

Yes. Marriage is not simply a civil agreement between two persons, it is also a sacrament and a vocation. A marriage creates a real spiritual institution that is separate from the parties involved. A Catholic marriage requires that both parties love that institution more than they love their spouse and certainly more than they love themselves. Unfortunately, to the detriment of the Church and those involves, that is not made clear often enough.

A Catholic marriage, once formed and instituted, survives as long as both of the spouses are alive. Unless nullified, meaning that the marriage never happened, any remarriage while either of the spouses is alive is adultery.

Peace be with you.

If a wife get's the shiiite beat out of her every week and she get's divorced and then nullified then it's ok with the Catholic faith to remarry?? I'm Catholic but not practicing.
