Stormarksgothi,

How many times may a person get divorced according the Asatru religion?

Divorce is not encouraged in Asatru, as the importance of family is great.

However, each case is judged individually, and there is no arbitrary limit set on the number of divorces.

Stormarksgothi,

When may a divorced person re-marry?

Again, there is no set arbitrary limit.

Each case is judged individually.

Good Morning To You, My Gentle Friends,

I find it very comforting and re-assuring to know that the Sense of Family Tradition is Greatly Valued here in Stormark . . .

That is Truly Magnificent!!! . . .

Alas, it is an unfortunate fact of life that some marriages do not last, and divorce is, in the end, the only sad alternative . . .

However, it is my belief that it is better to live alone and happy than together and miserable . . .

If one can remove oneself from the negative situation, then, perhaps one can, at a later date, find true happiness with someone else . . .

This has definitely been the case for my personal life . . .

I hope that others can find true happiness with the love of their life . . .

Have a most thoughtful morning . . . forthwith . . .

Stormarksgothi,

Which of the spouses may initiate a divorce?

There is no bar to either party regarding initiating divorce proceedings.

Women are given equal rights in all areas.

Stormarksgothi,

What are grounds for divorce according the Asatru religion?

Again, this is mostly a matter of discretion on the part of the individual gothi and each situation.

The primary requirement is that both parties wish the divorce.
