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.
When entering into a relationship or marriage under false pretenses or deceitful behavior, we break the trust of our partner, we confuse them and break their heart and damage the relationship, and ultimately violate God's commandment.
Furthermore, Jesus himself teaches us about the importance of truthfulness in relationships. In John 8:32 he says “Then you will know the truth and the truth will set you free.” In order for true intimacy to exist within a relationship or marriage there must be mutual trust built on honest communication. We must also remember that deception can lead down a dangerous path of sin. Ephesians 4:25 reminds us to put away falsehood and speak honestly with one another because when we deceive others it opens up opportunities for temptation towards sinful behavior. Deception erodes trust within the relationship which can lead to feelings of betrayal. It is also considered dishonesty and fraud both of which are frowned upon by God.
When you lie to your partner, that betrayal can shatter the other partner's trust in their own perceptions and inflict psychological trauma, causing them to feel that they are not lovable or deserving of an honest and true relationship. If your partner doesn't express remorse for lying, for hurting your feelings, or shows no willingness to change or seek help for their behavior, you might seriously consider ending the relationship.
We disobey this commandment and betray our partner's confidence when we engage into a relationship or marriage through dishonesty or deception.
Jesus himself also imparts to us the value of being honest in interpersonal interactions. "Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 8:32 states. There needs to be mutual trust based on open communication for there to be meaningful intimacy in a relationship or marriage. We also need to keep in mind that lying can lead to sin, which is a hazardous place to go. Ephesians 4:25 encourages us to avoid lying to one another and to communicate truthfully with one another since lying to others creates opportunities for temptation to engage in immoral action. Lying damages, the relationship's trust. The Tears shed by the innocent victims, God notices and the Person who did wrong will eventually be punished by God in his/ her lifetime. The fraudsters make false promises and swear God's name in vain, they promise in the name of Love, marriage, and family. Everything is a Lie to manipulate and fabricate the other person to believe. These things cause generational curses to pass down from one generation to another. Thats why these fraud people, scammers and all forms of evil people have so many curses upon their life and hence in due time they are punished by God for one or other issues in their lives.
The United States Department of Justice says Marriage fraud has been prosecuted, inter alia, under 8 U.S.C. § 1325 and 18 U.S.C. § 1546(a). The Immigration Marriage Fraud Amendments Act of 1986 amended § 1325 by adding § 1325(c), which provides a penalty of five years imprisonment and a $250,000 fine for any "individual who knowingly enters into a marriage for the purpose of evading any provision of the immigration laws." Under 8 U.S.C. § 1151(b), "immediate relatives" of U.S. citizens, including spouses, who are otherwise qualified for admission as immigrants, must be admitted as such, without regard to other, ordinary numerical limitations.
The Article in Very Mind says “Detecting a lie is not always as easy or straightforward as noticing unusual body language or behavior. However, the following are signs that could possibly be present if someone isn't telling the truth or they are withholding information:
Avoiding eye contact
Being vague, or offering few details
Body language that is contradictory (such as saying "no" but nodding their head up and down)
Body language that is unusual (like fidgeting, rigidity, rubbing brow, playing with hair, or slouching)
Continual defensiveness or denying of accusations
Evasive answers or inconsistencies in what they say
Perspiring on the brow
Placing a barrier such as a desk or a chair in front of self
Providing more information or specifics than is necessary or was asked for
Saying "no" several times
Smugness
Stalling the conversation
Unusual calmness
Unusual voice fluctuations
Unwillingness to touch spouse during a conversation
It's possible to mistake nervousness, distraction, or lack of eye contact for lying. Relying solely on common signs of lying may result in misreading or mislabelling your partner's behaviors. Nonverbal clues of lying can be difficult to spot and vary from person to person”.
The story of Jacob and Rachel in Genesis 29 is an example of deception leading to consequences in a marriage. Scripture speaks firmly about the damage of deception in marriage. “The Lord detests lying lips, but he delights in people who are trustworthy” (Proverbs 12:22). An additional Scripture states, “Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully. Deception must be confronted soundly. God says: “Do not be deceived… thieves, nor the greedy… nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God” (1 Corinthians 6:10 ).
But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur” (Revelation? ?21?:?8?).??
Zephaniah 1:9 says On that day I will punish all who avoid stepping on the threshold, who fill the temple of their gods with violence and deceit.
The U.S. Embassy receives numerous reports from U.S. citizens who have been the victims of a particular type of internet fraud in which the person has sent money to a person or an agency with the agreement that a young woman/man will visit the United States for the purposes of marriage or study.
If you believe you are the victim of an Internet scam:
Do not send money. Unfortunately, any money you have already sent is probably not recoverable.
End all communication with the scammer immediately. If you feel threatened, contact the local police at once. DO NOT attempt to personally recover the funds you have sent.
Report the matter immediately to:
The Internet Crime Complaint Center, a partnership among the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C), and the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA).
