While looking through some old divorce records I noticed that most all of them stated: "was forbidden to marry again, etc". My question is, was the accused party always forbidden to marry again? I am interested in this because I am searching for a woman who was divorced in 1866 and her husband was the one who brought about the suit. I found where he had later married but can find no record of her ever regarding any manner, so I thought that if they were allowed to remarry even though she was the one guilty, maybe I need to start checking on another name. I would appreciate any information regarding my question. Thanks for your help, Brenda _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 helps eliminate e-mail viruses.

The date is interesting. Divorce was rare then, or so I thought. << no record of her ever regarding any manner >> You mean she never remarried? I did not know a court had the power to order that. Wouldn't that cause them to "live in sin?" -eddie . . . for there is wrath gone out from the Lord; the plague is begun. - Num. 16:46
