To me, to "separate one's self from" is Active or Middle, since the subject
is doing the action.
But "to be separated from" is Passive; the subject is acted upon.
Since we have the benefit of a context here, can the translation be:
"should not separate from her husband, but if she is separated from..."
Or, "if she has already been left behind..."
Are the above translations valid?
Thank you,
Mark Wilson
