Canon 87 A wife who leaves her husband, and remarriage

She who has left her husband is an adulteress if she has gone to another, according to the holy and divine Basil, who most excellently gathered this from the prophecy of Jeremiah: that, "If a woman becomes another man's, she shall not return to her husband, but being defiled she shall be defiled" [Jeremiah 3:1]; and again, "He who keeps an adulteress is foolish and ungodly." If then she appears to have withdrawn from her husband without reason, he is worthy of pardon, and she of penances. And the pardon shall be given him to this end, that he be in communion with the Church. But he who leaves the wife lawfully joined to him and takes another is, according to the sentence of the Lord, subject to the judgement of adultery. And it has been laid down canonically by our Fathers that such as these be among the weepers for one year, among the hearers for two years, among the kneelers for three years, and in the seventh year stand with the faithful, and so be counted worthy of the offering, if indeed they repent with tears.
