Is catfishing a sin if it’s used for a constructive purpose? ?

[Dvnlvn]

What if it’s done to prove someone’s husband would cheat on them with a stranger? Proof for her so she can finally leave an abusive (mentally, emotionally and physically) relationship. She believes she can only leave him (break the marriage vow) if he were to cheat on her.

Nah, don’t do it

Get her her freedom

What religion says that catfishing is a sin?

The idea of using catfishing to see if someone would cheat, in itself seems wrong. Trying to setup a fake deal to see if he'll take the bait.

If he is abusive to her, she should leave now, especially the physical abuse. That is easy to see, the other two can be a bit harder to prove or understand... but doesn't need all three, physically being hurt by a loved one is domestic violence and she needs to get out.

That would just fall under, "Thou shalt not lie"

@KostasKouvalis Guess you can tell I've never read any scriptures... cause that sounds to me like, I need to sleep sitting up, rather than lying down.

Don't do it... from my experience, there are several types of people that do it and only one type I can respect... those that do it for research purposes that expose some harsh realities, like the guy that used a chad's pictures but basically said he molested children... and then exposed how women will still go for him just because.

From my own experience, it's either a dude pretending to be a chick because he wants some cock pictures and he's a fag, or it's a fat chick (or some other physical ailment) trying to look hot. Those people are losers. It's like "Hey gay guy... go for gay guys, and hey fat chick, go for fat dudes." (butt ugly can apply there too)

Well, in that case it’s not a „sin“, but it’s not generally OK to try to entrap someone. If he’s abusive, you should leave right away.

that's a terrible thing to just leave out of cheating but not abuse - i think any kind of abuse breaks the marriage vow

Wrong is wrong. Ends do not justify means.

[KostasKouvalis]

Honestly, it's not your place to meddle in other people's relationships. Just stay out of it

Sin doesn't exist

Maybe in that way it’s OK but otherwise it’s not
