Q

15- What are cases in which it is permitted to divorce and marry a second wife?

A

If a wife dies, it is God who divorces you, and you are free to marry again, another wife.

If you find out your wife had a pistol against her back when saying yes to you and she doesn't want you, and she never warmed up to you in the meantime, she is free to leave and - when the Church has heard her plea - take another man.

But if in the meantime she has instead decided she wants the marriage, you should stay together instead, and remake the marriage before a priest, not necessarily in public.

If you find out it was your own sister, though you didn't know, you are obliged to leave her and you can both start making real marriages, if you like.

Q

16- What will a Christian wife do if her husband left her for years?

– Will she sue for a divorce or keep waiting him for even ten years? Proof from The bible, Please?

A

If she thinks he is dead, she is free to marry, at least after Church accepts he has died, but if she marries someone else and then finds out he was alive, she is bound to go back to him.

Q

17- Can a Christian woman have sex during her period and while fasting?

Can a Christian wife and husband have sex during menstruation or fasting? With proof from the bible please?

A

During menstruation, it is no longer obliging to abstain, but it is recommended.

In the Old Law, it was even obliging, and a husband who got into her was stoned.

Now the rule is, if the other asks, even if it is not recommended to ask, one must give.

During fasting, as fasting is a Church law, Church has previously stated that one must abstain, unless the other asks, this is also true of night before Sunday, but the Church was free (probably) to change that law.

Q

18- What do crown, half crown and Je peniwt mean in Christianity?

What do Crown (Crowning ceremony / Ceremony of marriage / holy matrimony) and half Crown (Betrothal) and Je peniwt mean in Christianity? – And Are these rites which being used for marrying a couple found in the bible?

A

Betrothal is not equivalent to marriage, and does not yet allow you to have sex, nor is it totally indissoluble.

However, if you are betrothed and have sex before matrimony, which is a mortal sin, you should marry.

If you have sex without previous betrothal, and are both unmarried, both unbetrothed, it is a mortal sin, and one way of making up for it is marriage.

If one party in a betrothal is unfaithful, the other party has an option to forgive or to rescind the betrothal.

Such an option does not exist for those who are already married, by matrimony.

Using a coronation during matrimony is not what constitutes it, but is a pious use in the Eastern Rite (both Orthodox and Uniates) for those who have stayed virgins up to marriage. Crowns are in ancient pagan times used to congratulate those who win either a military or a sports victory, and staying virgin up to marriage is both a military victory against Satan, the World and the Flesh, and by being a victory against the own flesh, a sports' victory.

The essence, in Roman Catholic theology, of betrothal is a promise of future marriage, or a promise in which marriage is promised in the future tense; while a matrimony is a promise in the present tense, of marrying that other person right then and there, and it must be made before a priest, unless there is an excuse, and before witnesses.

Q

19- Is it permitted for a Christian woman to pray during menstruation?

Is it permitted for a Christian woman to pray during menstruation? – And also is it permitted for a Christian man to pray during janabah / the state of someone after having sexual intercourse which requires washing the entire body to be not in Janabah? Proof from the bible, please?

A

Praying is always necessary, therefore licit.

The kind of rituals in which menstruation would be an obstacle are the level of priesthood, and women don't become priests.

As to after sex, washing of entire body or of genitals plus staying impure to the evening is at least recommended. This is one reason why abstaining from sex the night to Sunday is good, you usually go to Mass in the morning, not waiting to the evening. For both sexes.

Q

20- Why can’t Catholics marry from Orthodox?

Why can’t Catholic marry from Orthodox, and the opposite, Orthodox from Catholic? Please support your answer with proof from the bible?

A

The two communities regard each other as schismatic and as at least heterodox, some of the more severe would say even heretical.

Those less severe on both sides have allowed certain mixed marriages, but it is a dangerous thing, especially as the other religion has another view of when remarriage is allowed.

Each person, a woman too, is responsible for Orthodoxy, and therefore cannot just admit sth heterodox because "her husband says it".

Q

21- Is there specific wear for a Christian woman?

Is there specific wear for a Christian woman, or this is just personal freedom? Proof from the bible, Please?

A

There is no one piece of clothing which is per se prescribed for women, but clothing which is considered masculine only is a no no and clothing which is considered as feminine only is a no no to men.

Apart from forbidding cross dressing and requiring covering of genitals, it is cultural and within cultural also individual freedom.

A nun is more obliged to cover herself than other women, and should show only face and hands, perhaps very little hair, and perhaps neck. But these latter are modern relaxations of discipline. As she is not allowed to marry, the kind of attractive company which could otherwise lead to marriage would with a nun just be a temptation.

Proofs from the Bible may be given in comments, for now I am tired.
