Read your bible carefully, they were never formally married, hence all of the fuss about the Virgin Birth, Immaculate Conception. at best, they were Betrothed. Somewhat oddly, and not intended to be sacrilegious, the couple in the novel (The Pearl) the Fisherman ( not a pearl diver by the way) and his companion, Juana, were not directly stated to be man and wife though most people who read the story assume they were. The Pearl, up to a point is an anti-capitalist tale in the mold of say (The Necklace) by Maupassant, and also might be taken as a Male version of the Hope Diamond. Small world.
