The foreign, heretical (i.e. Samaritan) woman at the well had had five husbands who had either died or divorced her. None were her choice as she had to marry whoever her father and his brothers decided on. At last she HAD made her own choice! Jesus made no negative statement. Indeed, this woman became the first missionary in John's Gospel - not the male disciples accompanying Jesus since Ch.1! Read John Ch.4 carefully: the woman changes the topic five times and leads Jesus to reveal worshiping God in "spirit and in truth".
