Re: Right to divorce...what will you do?
I didnt know this was a clause or a box you could check on the nikah nama?
Re: Right to divorce...what will you do?
i think there is a clause on the form....but i am not hundred percent sure.
Re: Right to divorce…what will you do?
You are right. There is a clause which in most of the cases checked as “NO” without even discussing it or without even talking with bride or her representative
Re: Right to divorce…what will you do?
So where is the actual nikkah form available 
Re: Right to divorce...what will you do?
^ so if this clause is on the form but the bride doesn't know about it...has she been married under false pretences to some extent...?
If she wasn't aware of the existence of such a right at the time of marriage then does this mean that she should still have the right to divorce if she so chooses...?
Re: Right to divorce...what will you do?
for the people who underwent the trauma of divorce, i wish it was something not to be taken, or given by anyone.
it is better to remain single, then to be divorced, both for men and for women.
that is why, we must form our relationships on mutual trust and love that is acknowledged and returned in kind.
Re: Right to divorce...what will you do?
It's important for a woman to put this in writing in a contract, because what if he isn't "in his right mind" or abusive. Divorce becomes an "honor" and "control" issue for some men.
As to my knowledge right to divorce is different from Khula. Khula is when the wife moves to judge or Qazi for divorce against a husband who has been refusing to do so.
Giving right to divorce to wife is also a Sunnah, Rasoolullaah gave this right to all his wives.
Re: Right to divorce...what will you do?
Inshallah i hope the word divorce never pass my lips.
Re: Right to divorce...what will you do?
^ So is that the same form used in ALL marriages ?
Is the marriage license (state wala) the same thing as the nikkahnama?
Re: Right to divorce...what will you do?
Allah (swt) said tat divorce is the worst opinion i ever allowed among muslims.. So don't even think of it before marriage or even as a choice...
Re: Right to divorce...what will you do?
Sara516 and geek, read post #10.
Re: Right to divorce...what will you do?
On my sis's wedding, one of my aunt's said to my father that he should check that bride/wife has the right of divorce. She said that not because she wants (God for bid) something bad happen to her but if (God for bid) something happens then my sister should have the freedom to make a decision. (Anyhow, May Allah bless my sister with a happy married life.ameen)
A cousin of mine recently got divorced, on the nikkah thing they had that she has no right for divorce but things got extremely bad for her that she had to go through the court. So after her case my family is really strong that the girl should be given the right to divorce not because that is something they would want but just to be on the safe side.
Re: Right to divorce...what will you do?
Dude, post # 10 becomes relevant only if you are in the business of stating the obvious (the west is bad and lahol, divorce should not be used as a fashion statement, and all such great things), not to mention, going offtopic. So how about you do the 'mod' thing and delete it , then give it one more shot?
