divorce

What does Islam say abt divorce?
Under what circumstances you schould divorce according to Islam?

there is a lot of things to say about this topic...
but my personal opinion is........... if the relationship is on stake,and nothing seems to be working out , then take a chance living separately before divorce.
It may work .....to strengthen ur relationship again.

Best of luck

:)

Re: divorce

"If all efforts fail and every course tried proves to be of no avail, the husband and wife may resort to the final solution permitted by the Shari`ah of Islam. In response to the bitter realities of life, when difficulties cannot be resolved except through the separation of the two parties in an honorable fashion, Islam has made the provision of divorce. Islam has permitted divorce reluctantly, neither liking nor commending it."

Re: divorce

Islam dislikes a divorce, but if there is really, REALLY REALLY REALLY no other way around, Islam is the last Religion which would stop you, but it's a Religion which asks for compromises till you can't from both parties.

If a divorce happens, both or he/she didn't know to appreciate married life which can be full of blessings if you live it like you should.

Peace

Muslimgirl:

""The woman who cannot bear to live with her husband has the right to free herself from the marriage bond by returning to her husband the mahr (required marriage gift) and gifts he has given her, or more or less than that according to their mutual agreement. It is, however, preferable that he should not ask for more than he has given her. Allah Almighty says: "...And if you (the judges) fear that the two may not be able to keep to the limits ordained by Allah, there is no blame on either of them if she redeems herself (from the marriage tie by returning all or part of the mahr)..." (Al-Baqarah: 229)"

Look at this website as well: its called Islamonline.net

I hope this helps you and wish you the best of luck!

Re: divorce

don't do it unless it is unavoidable (eg for continuous mistreatment, abuse etc). Think of what's best for children - they are the worst affected

Re: divorce

I would also say a couple should get seperated for a while before making a decision.

I was just wondering what Islam says abt divorce
I'm not getting divorce, im not married

Re: divorce

From a personal experience I can say its not as bad as people might think [provided u dont have any kids] ....takes just a few days to get over it.

In the times of salaf divorce was fairly common so its not a new phenomena

^^ Then I would suggest dont take marriage so lightly.

May I ask where did you get this quote??

As far as I know ... divorce is the least liked out of all permissable acts.

Re: divorce

Divorce is like an agreement between two persons, like all agreements, this agreement can be terminated. Islam has given the rules for the termination.

There are certain situations where divorce can seen as the only solution:

1) Men incapable of carrying out his side of the obligation.
2) Men/Women feel uncomfortable with the idealogy of each other and they have tried all kind of consultations and methods, and none had worked.
3) Either Side has been caught in immoral acts and despite the warning(s) has shown no sign of regret and is not willing to adopt the right path.

There can be others but this what i knew.

Re: divorce

Well Islam said it HALAL but MAKRO so it is halal but leaves very bad expression of yourself on Almighty Allah.
