Answer 4

Definitely. In a marriage, you're supposed to feel safe and secure emotionally, physically, and sexually. If you're being emotionally, physically or sexually abused, you should contact a good lawyer to help you with the legal stuff, and possibly the police if you feel threatened or endangered.

Yes, surely, it is surely a reason for divorce. In terms of both mentally or physically abuse, you can actually get a lawyer and talk about your situation with him, such as your husband hit you, physically hurt you or even mentally abuse you. you can ask for your husband compensation money for both!

Answer 9

Absolutely!

Answer 10

The bible doesn't give specific reasons for getting a divorce.   So, really, you can get divorced for any reason.   The bible does, however, give acceptable divorce reasons if you want to re-marry, to my knowledge adultery is the only acceptable reason for divorce that allows you to get re-married.

That said, you have to really weigh in on whether staying with someone who abuses you, is worth not getting divorced.    My opinion is that you should not stay with a person that abuses you, but you should not seek to re-marry either.  That's how I interpret it.
