The information about his cheating was from another article that I read about this case. I didnt read this particular article. If a husband abandons his wife, she must submit to Christ. She no longer has a husband to submit to. I am submissive to my husband but he didn’t cheat on me and divorce me either.
Well if the wife divorced the man on the grounds of "irreconcileable differences" rather than the specific ground of adultery, then I think that maybe the divorce was not valid on biblical grounds.
Most states have removed the ground of "adultery" from their books as a reason for divorce. Therefore most divorces (even those caused by infidelity) are not biblically valid because the grounds for the divorce are not biblical.
It is a technical point to be sure, but then by eliminating adultery as a grounds for divorce and replacing it with a no-fault system the states have made divorce too simple to obtain and as a result we have a generation of children who have more fathers and mothers than they do brothers and sisters.
This case is a perfect example of why states should not grant divorce too easily.
