First my heartfelt prayers go out to these people.
I can only imagine the pain they must be going through.
From what I have read, this would fall into the category of "Sins of which we are unaware."
A divorse would in my view constitute public repentance now that they have both been made aware of their predicament and obviously Gods mercy fully applies to both of them.
Although repentance would not require the divorse.
Certainly this could create some confusion with respect to
Malachi 2:16.
But I would agree with jtb1991 that this wouldn't really be a divorce rather an annulment. A retroactive legal declaration of nullity.
May God use this to demonstrate why He gave us His laws for our own protection.
Our society is becoming one of no personal responsibility. The farther we drift from Gods Holy Word and into Satans sinful deceptions, the more we will see children being adopted out into other homes, and this type of thing taking place.
Sin brings with it tremendous consequences. God has given us His law and following it would have prevented this tragedy from ever happening.
What a glorious and gracious God we have indeed, that He would give His one and only Son to die for our sins.
It still amazes me that there are those who stay at home, giving no thanks to God whatsoever, and will read about this story, yet never see how clearly this illustrates our desperate need for a Savior.
God has given each of us an awesome task in making disciples of all. Let us call on His name for strength.
