Can Mormon women remarry after their spouse dies?

Answer 1

Definitely! Many Mormons remarry after their spouse has died.

However, a Mormon woman cannot be sealed to a second husband for time and all eternity if her first husband dies. A Mormon man can be sealed to a second wife.

Answer 2

No. Mormons believe that a marriage should be eternal, so it would make sense to pick the best person as your spouse, but if you do get divorced, there's nothing that says you can't re-marry someone else or simply choose not to re-marry anyone else.

Answer 3

Well, of course we are regular people. While members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) are urged to try to make things work before seeking a divorce, divorces within the Church are about equal with the national average. In fact, in pioneer times, the divorce rate among Mormons was higher than the national average. The only time a Church member may be told to divorce is in cases of abuse or adultery.

Answer 4

Yes. Any member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the 'Mormon" church) who is legally divorced may remarry whomever they choose. The Church typically does not tell people if and whom to marry.

Any LDS woman who is widowed may also remarry but not be sealed to her new husband if she is already sealed to her deceased husband.

Answer 5

The Mormon church strongly supports marriage. Those with marital problems are counseled to do all they can to save their marriage. However, the church is not entirely hardlined about divorce. There are situations such as broken trust caused by adultery and abuse that may may justify a divorce.
