In India, there is a belief that marriage can last upto 7 lifetimes. I wonder how the reaction would be then.
How do you know what lifetime you’re on?
Like, if you get divorced, does this presume you were technically on your eighth time through and so this is legitimate?
It was ideas like this that convinced me heaven wasn’t real when I was young.
Like, some woman’s first husband dies. She eventually remarries and is happy. Later she dies and goes to heaven. Who is she with there? Husband 1 or 2? Both? Neither? The only way it makes sense to me is if people are essentially high 24/7 so nothing bothers them. But, is that really so heavenly?
That’s why she’s supposed to throw herself upon the burning funeral pyre when her husband dies.

This isn’t a problem for Mormons. They can have as many spouses as they want, and then when they die they get their own planet.
