Islington Tribune - LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Published: 15 August 2008
 
Married but living in sin?

• IT’S been interesting to see our clergy discussing the Lillian Ladele case.
One of the questions which has been puzzling me is the status, in religion, of civil marriages between men and women.
It seems to me that such marriages are not blessed by God and that the couples are not joined together in holy matrimony.
If this is the case could the couples be at risk of committing a sin such as fornication or adultery in the eyes of the Lord?
As far as I know, divorcees may not marry in church but can have their civil marriages “blessed”.
Maybe our clerics could throw some light on the question of whether couples having a civil marriage, as carried out in a register office, could be committing a sin in the eyes of the Lord.
