God doesn't bind fraudulent contracts including the contract of marriage. A deliberately hidden fraudulent agenda is the motive for such marriage being annulled. That is, it was never a valid, bound marriage. Fraud is something that occurs before marriage and begins in the mind of the person committing the fraud. Fraud is when a person deliberately hides a fact that he or she knows will cause the prospective mate not to wed. If someone has a flaw so great that he fears that his prospective mate won't marry him/her, and then he deliberately hides that flaw? This would be fraud and a person would be free to leave.

In God's eyes there never was a marriage. It is annulled. Even in civil law, fraud is something that is considered to be a deliberate deception and it is considered as a crime even before the law. This is a general principle in contract law. But if, on the other hand, she knew that she was infertile/Impotent and deliberately withheld this information because she/he suspected that he /she might not marry her/him if he knew, then this would be a fraud. This would be a deliberate fraud that started in her mind before the wedding. If something is important to a person, he or she should ask about it and not marry someone whose past and present life and habits are question marks. In the desire and excitement to get married, prospective mates shouldn't overlook clues about possible flaws. Is he very jealous? Does she have a bad temper? It's another clue—fights before marriage usually escalate after marriage. Has this person been married before? How many times? Been in trouble with the law? These are all matters to be discussed. Paul condemned some in Corinth for defrauding others (1 Corinthians 6:7-8). As Christians, we should be willing, if necessary, to suffer a loss, rather than be guilty of defrauding others for some personal gain. That is not only SIN in the eyes of God, but a CRIME in the eyes of the state. This is not behavior becoming of a child of God.

God is not bound by dishonest agreements, such as marriage contracts. The reason such a marriage was dissolved was a purposefully concealed false agenda. In other words, there was never a lawful, binding union. Fraud is something that starts in the perpetrator's head and happens before to marriage. Fraud is the intentional concealment of information that one knows will prevent a potential partner from getting married. if someone purposefully conceals a flaw from his potential spouse because they are so big that they make them afraid they won't marry him? A person would be free to go as this would be a fraud. God believes that marriage never existed. It's revoked.

As Christians, we are to hold our light high for all to see. We must walk in such a way that we declare by our very lives the joys and blessings of being Spirit-filled. Our actions and attitudes should draw people TO the Lord Jesus Christ, not drive them away. If we are engaged in fraudulent activities, how does that affect our witness for Christ? Our influence upon others? Either we walk in the light, or we participate in the deeds of darkness. people enter into marriages under false pretenses, leading to confusion and heartbreak down the line. Firstly, it’s crucial to understand that marriage should be built on honesty and transparency from both parties involved. Deception or manipulation can never lead to true love or lasting fulfillment in any relationship, especially in marriage. In 1 Corinthians 7:15-16 we read “But if the unbeliever leaves, let it be so…God has called us to live in peace.” This passage suggests that if one partner enters into marriage with false intentions (such as pretending they believe something they do not), their spouse may have grounds for divorce according to biblical law; however, reconciliation should always be sought out first before taking such drastic measures. Ensuring your motives align with God’s will before making such an enormous commitment could save much grief later on – while also ensuring you honor God through your actions! The Bible teaches us that marriage is a sacred covenant between two individuals who have made a commitment to each other before God. Anything Built on Lies and Deceit Will Definitely Crash at An Unexpected Moment. God Punishes in his own way in his time to all fraudsters, greedy, stealers liars those who are involved in deception, lies, and manipulation and break other people’s hearts and misuse other people’s kindness, compassion, and Finances, and build their life on someone’s hard work and identity.

It is our duty as Christians to shine brightly for everyone to see. It is imperative that we live in a way that proclaims the pleasures and delights of being filled with the Spirit. People should be drawn to the Lord Jesus Christ by our deeds and attitudes, not the other way around. What impact does it have on our witness for Christ if we are involved in fraud? Our impact on other people? We can choose to walk in the light or take part in the dark's actions. People are married on false pretenses, which later causes confusion and heartache. First and first, it's important to realize that a marriage should be founded on openness and honesty from all partners. True love or happiness can never result from deceit or manipulation.
