Can a woman be married and divorced and still become a sister?
Answer
It is possible for a woman to become a sister after being married and divorced if she has an annulment and if she has no dependent children for whom she is responsible. Only then is she free to enter this lifestyle. It is important, however, that one does not see consecrated life as a vocation for one whose marriage has failed. A religious community may require the individual to live outside the married state for a set period of time before her application to consecrated life. One truly called by God to the consecrated life makes a free and informed choice based on the options before her.
