The passage from I Cor 7:10-16 is talking about {assuming is the case of} a “normal” marriage, a marriage where there is no abuse. It must be, or else one would be forced to conclude a woman (or a man) who divorces their spouse because they are suffering regular, physical abuse has “sinned”. IOW, I seriously doubt our Lord expects a woman to stay married to a man (live with a man)’who beats her on a regular basis.

Besides this isn’t even the circumstance here. Annalex was saying that the woman in the OP should separate from her husband until and unless they either get a dispensation for their marriage or they get their marriage convalidated. Which isn’t in contradiction with Scripture in fact is supported by it (I Cor 7:3-5). (Assuming both agree to the separation)

It is not in accordance with Scripture or supported by that passage. That passage says the separation should only be for a short time for prayer and fasting. That is not the situation here where the priest told her to separate herself until..... they comply with Church demands and get rubber stamp Catholic approval for how they are to be married.

Or some such nonsense.
