Shoghi Effendi wishes me to add this note in connection with your marriage: he does not feel that any believer, under any circumstances whatsoever, can ever use the Cause or service to it as a reason for abandoning their marriage; divorce, as we know, is very strongly condemned by Bahá'u'lláh, and only grounds of extreme gravity justify it.... 
(From a letter written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi, 7 April 1947 to an individual believer; The Compilation of Compilations vol. I, Divorce)
