Contradiction with Matthew 5:32
This verse suggests that divorce is permissible in cases of marital unfaithfulness, while Romans 7:2 implies a woman is bound to her husband as long as he lives, without exceptions mentioned.
Matthew 5:32: But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 7:15
This verse allows for separation if an unbelieving partner departs, contradicting Romans 7:2, where the woman is bound for life to her husband.
1 Corinthians 7:15: But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such [cases]: but God hath called us to peace. [to peace: Gr. in peace]
Contradiction with Mark 10:11-12
These verses indicate the possibility of divorce and remarriage being adulterous, which contrasts with the binding nature of marriage as described in Romans 7:2.
Mark 10:11-12: And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her.
Contradiction with Deuteronomy 24:1-2
This passage allows a man to write a bill of divorcement, permitting the woman to marry another, conflicting with the lifelong binding stated in Romans 7:2.
Deuteronomy 24:1-2: When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give [it] in her hand, and send her out of his house. [some...: Heb. matter of nakedness] [divorcement: Heb. cutting off]
Paradox #1
This verse could potentially be seen as inconsistent with modern views on marriage and divorce. The idea that a woman is bound to her husband as long as he lives may conflict with contemporary beliefs that allow for divorce under various circumstances and recognize the autonomy of individuals to end a marriage that might be harmful or unhappy.
