Excuses, excuses.
God nowhere recognizes *invalid* marriages.
It’s a contrivance of the Catholic church to justify their church sanctioned divorce.
Of course He doesn't recognize them. They are invalid, why would He recognize something that is invalid?
Nope, MANY reasons why a valid marriage doesn't exist...after wedding, wife/husband states that they are not open to having children, either is not capable of consummating the marriage, find out that you are too closely related to each other (perhaps an adoption situation), find out that one or the other was coerced into the marriage, find out that one or the other had been previously married and the marriage had not been dissolved (Las Vegas Quickie),...I have no idea of how many there are, but people do strange things.....
