Very moving. Thank you for your enlightening foray into the mind and heart of Joseph. I never thought about that.

Betrothed did not mean married. Therefore divorcing was probably not an option anyway.

In the Middle East and the same in Europe at some point in time. People became betrothed for a certain time (engaged) before marriage.
