Translations:Does the divorce of the foreign women in Ezra 9-10 show that civil government has authority to dissolve marriages or preside over "divorce trials"?/1/en
From Theonomy Wiki
Quick answer: No. Biblical law nowhere gives civil government the authority either to dissolve marriage covenants or to require that husbands get civil government permission before divorce. The divorce of the foreign women in Ezra 9-10 shows nothing resembling either of the above cases.
