I thought the position of the church was that if your partner denied you sex over an extended period of time, you are allowed to divorce. Not that you can demand sex from your partner.
You're entitled to a divorce under any circumstances.
not in The Philippines for example, where you can't get divorced.
I'm sure there are other reasons for which the church accepts divorce, but I doubt the church accepts divorce under any circumstances.
In basically every religion ever that I can think of that is flat out not true. Like not at fucking all.
Marriage as a concept is religious in nature. Basically all the rules around it stem from religion.
The idea of divorce out side of extreme circumstances is very modern.
Oh I wasn't speaking in terms of mythology/cults.
If you're talking about the Roman Catholic church, their position is that divorce is never permissible whatsoever.
But they also say that the marriage doesn't really start until the first sexual intercourse. So I think there is a ground to petition for an annulment if you got married but never had sex.
