This week I’m joined by Kristofer Gardana, and we’re talking about a law in Mexico that would allow people to “renew” their marriage every few years. If they did not renew their marriage, they would be considered “divorced.” There may be a lot of people who would prefer this as it would be an easy way to get out of marriage without a messy divorce. And, since so many people consider marriage to be temporary anyway, this would seem to make sense from a worldly perspective. However, it does not reflect the wisdom of God or the teachings of His word. So we’re going to discuss this in our episode today.
STORY – Mexico Approves a 2-Year Renewable Temporary Marriage Law
“The law would be implemented in Aguascalientes, Mexico, were a legislative initiative presented by the deputy Natzielly Rodríguez Calzada is approved, who proposed the creation of a Civil Union Agreement of cohabitation, is that a figure equivalent to a ‘Marriage with definite time’ or ‘Temporary Marriage.’
“‘Those who decide to take this option as an alternative may sign a contract of minimum two years and maximum five.’”
“The legislator affirmed. The contracting parties may restrain the contract; otherwise, it will be taken as a de facto divorce.
“Before this controversy of the proposal, Rodriguez has indicated that it is not intended to replace conventional marriage, but is ‘an alternative to common marriage, and does not come to replace it, is an option that people will have…’” (The Mazatlan Post)
