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.

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.

"I'm Catholic but not practicing."

Then ask yourself why the Holy Spirit drew you here today.

The Church is not insensitive to the plight of battered and abused spouses and is not opposed to separations and civil divorce. Incompatible couples are free to live apart from one another, but not to live as husband or wife to anyone other than their original spouse as long as the initial marriage is considered to have been valid.

"What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate." - Mark 10:9

Peace be with you.
