"If a Baha'i is married to a non-Baha'i the non-Baha'i can get a
divorce prior to the conclusion of a year of patience. They
can do this because Baha'i law is subordinate to civil law. "
Dear David,
It is possible for a Baha'i to get a civil divorce prior to the end of
the year of patience as well, though this is strongly discouraged as
being contrary to the spirit of the Year of Patience. What they can't
do according to Baha'i law is remarry until the year is up.
"My question is, if this happens must the Baha'i observe the rest of
the year of patience even though divorced, or are they allowed to look
for love elsewhere?"
Yes, they must still observe the Year of Patience.
warmest, Susan
