For a married woman who has a husband is bound by law to her husband during his lifetime; but if her husband dies, she is released from the law of her husband.

"I have no husband," answered the woman. "You are right in saying 'I have no husband,'" Jesus said to her,

So then, if during her husband lifetime, she unites herself with another man, she will be counted an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from the Law, so that she is no adulteress, even if she unites herself with another man.

Let the husband give his wife her due, and likewise the wife her husband. The wife is not mistress of her own person,

but her husband is; and in the same way the husband is not master of his own person, but his wife is.

For the unbelieving husband is consecrated through union with his believing wife; and the unbelieving wife, through union with her believing husband. Otherwise your children would be unholy, but now they are consecrated to God.

For how do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?

A wife is bound to her husband during his lifetime; but if her husband dies, she is free to marry whomever she will, provided it be in the Lord.
