When my daughter got married we knew about the relationship with the state issue so she was married in a rental church with my father officiating the ceremony. They signed their names in a family bible with the date etc and 2 witnesses.
Now it gets a bit confusing as we did not know that you have to be 18 to get married this way. Our daughter was only 16 at the time.
Now, 2 1/2 years later, she has found that her husband is a sociopathic liar, a drug abuser, adulterer, and has abandoned her and their 2 (plus another one on the way) children. The children have no birth certificate and were born at home.
Can she get divorced? Was she married to begin with? I'm a little confused what it legal and what is lawful and just what kind of a mess we have put her in.
Any help on this topic or direction would be much appreciated.
Thanks so much,

If it is proven that her husband did commit adultery with the testimony of 2 or 3 witnesses and diligent inquiry (Duet 19:15-19, then she has biblical grounds for nullifying the marriage (Matt 197-11). Though what Jesus instructs in Matt 19 is from the husband’s perspective I think it could also apply the other way around. Of course all of this only by fervent prayer. Stand strong in living for the Lord, despite the gainsaying of the world and even the state incorporated non profit organizations (pseudo churches) that call themselves ‘churches’.
