Our position is in accord with The Bible's view that marriage is a permanent instition bound by God. There are two situations according to the scriptures where a married person would become free to remarry. One is the death of their spouse. The Bible states at Romans 7:2, 3: "A married woman is bound by law to her husband while he is alive; but if her husband dies, she is discharged from the law of her husband. So, then, while her husband is living, she would be styled an adulteress if she became another man's. But if her husband dies, she is free from his law, so that she is not an adulteress if she becomes another man's." So the death of a spouse would permit the surviving mate to remarry. This would of course, apply to husbands as well as wives. The other sitution would be in the event of sexual unfaithfulness on the part of one's mate. At Matthew 19:8, 9, Jesus said: " I say to you that whoever divorces his wife, except on the ground of fornication [extramarital intercourse], and marries another commits adultery.'" So fornication would allow for the innocent mate to divorce the guilty mate, and remarry someone else. This is the Bible's view, so this is the position of Jehovah's Witnesses regarding re-marriage.
