CAN MY MARRIAGE END BECAUSE I CONVERTED?.


Wako and Maria met at church, and after some encouragement from the pastor, they got married. In their 3rd year of marriage, Wako got a scholarship in Thailand and went for his master's degree. The ‘happy’ couple continued talking almost every day until the day Wako returned. At the airport, he came dressed in Buddhist monk robes, and Maria thought he just wanted people to know where he had been. 

The joke stopped being funny when they got home, and she woke up at night to find Wako humming and meditating with Budha. Maria has done everything to convince him to change his mind, but Wako is a ‘real’ monk now. Maria says she is left with no choice, and she can no longer be a wife to a confused person who changes his beliefs. 

Can Maria divorce Wako because he changed his religion?

WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY?

According to the law, the religion someone enters a marriage with is important. The law allows you to ask for divorce if your spouse has changed from the religion they had while they were entering the marriage with you. 

This is because different religions look at marriage in different ways. For example, Christian marriages are monogamous (one man, one woman), while many other religions are ‘potentially’ polygamous (one man, many women). So, changing a religion would mean you are no longer bound by the beliefs about marriage in that religion. 
 
So, if Mary is uncomfortable with this change of religion and what it represents, then she can seek a divorce from Wako on grounds of change of religion.
