Paragraph 24.5
Of the Westminster Confession of Faith (1646)
Adultery, or fornication committed after a Contract, being detected before marriage, gives just occasion to the innocent party to dissolve that Contract.1 In the case of Adultery after marriage, it is lawful for the innocent party to sue out a Divorce:2 And, after the Divorce, to marry another, as if the offending party were dead.3
