Правило 48 Василия Великого
Machine translation from the original · Show original
The one left by her husband, in my opinion, should remain celibate. For when the Lord said: whoever divorces his wife, except for the guilt of adultery, gives her a reason to commit adultery (Matthew 5:32): then by calling her an adulteress, he thereby forbade her to cohabit with another. For how is it possible for a husband to be guilty as the author of adultery, and a wife to be innocent, having been called an adulteress by the Lord for having intercourse with another husband?
(Ap. 48; Trul. 87, 93, 98; Ankyr. 20; Carth. 102; Basil Vel. 9, 21, 31, 35, 36, 46, 77, 80).
And in this rule, Basil the Great expresses his personal opinion about the wife whom her husband sent away from his home, and notes that she cannot marry again; if she enters into cohabitation with any other person, in this case she should be considered an adulteress. Saint Basil bases this opinion on the words of Jesus Christ (Matthew 5:32), which he cites in the rule, noting that if Christ called this wife an adulteress, it means that she is forbidden to live together with any other person, for if the husband is guilty of pushing his wife into adultery, then the wife who is called an adulteress by the Lord himself must also be condemned for adultery 95 . Regarding other things cf. interpretations of 87 and 93 Trullan rules on wives leaving their husbands and husbands leaving their wives.
