Answer:

Her divorce was not final the first time they were married

Step-by-step explanation:

Because she was married to somebody else when they met. Her husband was unappreciative Divorce was really unusual at that time, and it was really hard to get. Her husband, at that point, did file for divorce, but then he took a lot of time to actually get it.

Answer: Her divorce was not final the first time they were married.

She eloped with Andrew Jackson, believing that Robards had secured the couple a divorce. They were forced to remarry in 1794 after the divorce had been finalized
