Yeah, but, Ms. Magdalene was considered to be a whore, and I'm not sure that anyone would respect a Rabbi who married a whore. You remember that in that period of history, her fate would have been death, if Jesus had not intervened. Much like the women of Islam who would suffer the same fate, in this period of history, if anyone of them committed the same 'crime'.
