The woman in question brought the divorce proceeding and thus made the husband a "victim" of divorce. The UPC Manual very clearly delineates the propriety of such a "victim" of divorce to remarry while then asking that ministers in such a position not remarry.
The man was not a minister so he was free to remarry "only in the Lord" according to the UPCI Manual. There was simply no need for the pastor to do what he did. He could have simply read from the Manual if he wanted to "back up" the 'rights' of his daughter to date and later marry this guy.

And how does the manual line up with the Bible on this instance? ...if the unbelieving depart, let him depart, the brother wouldn't be under bondage in such a case?
