It is in a Europeanized society that people meet, get married and get divorced, preaching individual freedom and independence. In countries with a pronounced patriarchal order, the institution of marriage is treated very differently, seeing in the marriage the bonds for the rest of their lives.
Islamic religion takes marriage very seriously. And even more carefully considered the provision of divorce. The last action does not cause approval in the Muslim religion, as, however, in other teachings. Popular rumor has a proverb for this occasion. She urges you to think 10 times, if you are going to enter into a marriage, in the case of a divorce, you will have to think 10 times more. This is a fair point.
In whatever religion the spouses are brought up, divorce leads to chaos and traumatizes the souls of people. Therefore, divorce in Sharia is rare.
But life is far from ideal and often the cracked harmony cannot be restored. Islam went to meet human weaknesses and allowed a divorce, however, without much blessing. To avoid chaos in this matter, Sharia provides for strict observance of conditions.
Divorce Terms
Divorce can only take place between people who are legally married, registered in accordance with all the rules of Islam. The initiator of the action is most often a man. However, women are not disenfranchised at this moment and can also declare a breakup.
The application is taken into consideration in the case of an adequate state of the petitioner. A mentally ill or drunk person cannot count on the satisfaction of the petition. People can be separated in the following cases:
- the death of one of them, - apostasy, - acquisition of ownership of one over the other, - treason.
