Re: Re-marrying
What a complicated situation. She should seek proper legal advice on how to resolve this. Abuse in a marriage should not be taken or accepted. A spouse has no right to raise his hand on his wife on ill justification. Utterly unacceptable! Anyway regarding what shak said, if not possible, the marriage can be terminated if done through the judicial court system in whatever country she is living. She does needs to seriously take some serious steps and get this over with through proper and legal means.
As far as considering to re-marry. I think this girl should take her time, and not yield into new relationship at the moment. She should only consider it if she is as interested and willing rather than being emotionally forced into it. The post I've written on 'wrong reasons to marry' print if off for her, and give it a read. Its really handy while considering to marry anyone to begin with.
