What would have been the consequences of Mary bearing a child out of wedlock?
Two thousand years ago, according to ancient Jewish law, Mary would have been either ostracized (shunned) or stoned to death.Jewish AnswerAt that time in Jewish history, Mary would have been considered married to Joseph by the point she had gotten pregnant based on Jewish marriage traditions. She would not have been ostracized nor would she have been stoned as there would have been no legal basis for such a punishment.Contrary to what many non-Jews believe, ancient Jews did not go running about stoning anyone for any violation of Jewish law. Rather, the laws regarding sentencing someone to death were so strict, it was virtually impossible to impose this sentence. In truth, a Jewish court that sentenced even one man to death in 70 years would be noted for just that one sentence.
