The answer
While divorce is on the rise in the world and among Christians, our Coptic Church follows the teachings of the Holy Bible considering a marriage to be everlasting "Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate" (Mt 19:6). Divorce should be strictly forbidden except when adultery is proven "And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery" (Mt 19:9). It is true that the Catholic Church does not believe in divorce; but she went around this by granting annulments of marriage for various reasons.Answered by His Eminence Metropolitan Youssef (opens in a new tab)
