More Righteous than God?

For those who would remind us that God hates divorce, we would agree and urge the hard hearted to repent and pray for mercy, but you cannot be more righteous than God, so you cannot righteously forbid that which God has allowed. The rejected or neglected spouse is free to leave, but where they choose to remain, that is a voluntary display of God’s mercy and grace. We cannot take this possibility and turn it into a command that forbids what God allows and uses Scripture to allow an abuser to enslave a victim.
