Some Christians teach that it is acceptable to divorce a physically abusive spouse. Some would even say that someone in that situation *should* do so. What is the Biblical basis for this?
Society would generally say that the sane response would be to divorce an abusive spouse. I'm trying to find scriptural support for this, but the only related verses I can find say "Do not divorce" or "If you divorce and remarry, it's adultery."
