Divorce and you?

So, what type of bad things in someone would prompt you to give/ask for divorce from someone you are married to? Unruly, disrespectful and wehmi/shaki spouse?

What if you have kid(s) as well? Would you consider them, their future, etc.?

I know a sad person who gave his wife divorce twice in a heated argument but could not do it the third time to end it for good because of the kid(s). When should his suffering end? :hoonh:

Re: Divorce and you?

The criteria for divorce is very personal for every person. Some people have more patience, tolerance, dependence. Kids just make it that much harder. A person probably can't know until they're in that situation. Most Muslims would never tolerate:

cheating
drinking or drugs
physical, mental abuse
homosexuality
lack of affection, connection or sexual activity
mental illness
lying, stealing
shopping addiction and going into debt
gambling problem

I got a little creative at the end there.

i hope no one has to go through such problems and if they do may Allah(Swt) help them.

but like saima said it all depends on people. some are patient and very tolerant while others just can't stand it. but i think everyone should think twice before taking such steps and i agree once again that a person has to be in that kind of a situation to say anything or do anything. may Allah(Swt) help us All..Ameen

Everything can be forgotten or cured except adultery.

Re: Divorce and you?

adultry. I would require love, affection, complete honesty, integrity, and faithfullness.

I would be only possessive of my wife not controlling or dictating or dominating.

Re: Divorce and you?

cheating

I hope no one has to pass through this. I have never thought about it and I guess other happy couples have never though about it either.

I don’t think we “set rules” or “make minds” in advance for divorce. That totally depends on circumstances and events. Same events can trigger divorce b/w some couples and some marriages can survive more intense events of same nature.

I guess temper has more to do with it than any other thing. I believe k Ghussay main insane ko pata nahi hota k wo kia bol raha hai. That’s why ghussa is Haram ( :aj: )

having said that, let me name adultry for the sake of naming :slight_smile:
