Divorce
In the Bible, divorce is designed as an avenue to prevent couples from effectively running away from their problems and not respecting the institution of marriage. This is occurring with God discouraging these practices and associating them with adultery. Evidence of this can be seen in Deuteronomy 24: 1 -- 4 which says, "If a man marries a woman who becomes displeasing to him because he finds something indecent about her, and he writes her a certificate of divorce, gives it to her and sends her from his house, and if after she leaves his house she becomes the wife of another man, and her second husband dislikes her and writes her a certificate of divorce, gives it to her and sends her from his house, or if he dies, then her first husband, who divorced her, is not allowed to marry her again after she has been defiled. That would be detestable in the eyes of the Lord. Do not bring sin upon the land the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance." (Holly Bible New International Version, 2007)
In general, divorce is considered to be adultery. This is because it is breaking the scared covenant between a man, woman and God. However, if the either partner has engaged in adultery with someone else, the husband can seek out a divorce. As they have been defiled by the other and are no longer pure. In this case, the true individual is not considered to be the adulterer. Instead, it is the other person who is at fault, which makes divorce acceptable under these circumstances.

For example, given that, culturally, the mother plays a more central role in the African-American family than the father, it would seem that
