Women should have equal right to give divorce, not just merely ask for it. It should also not be possible to remove this right/clause from the nikah naama. In addition, the tradition with oral divorce should be purged. Divorce should be a due process, and not something a man can utter at his whim three times, and get it over with.

There is no logical reason not to give women equal right to give divorce, and the tradition with oral divorce has proven time and again to leave women vulnerable against misuse. Not to mention its backwards in the first place. No need to uphold this tradition.

Any system that gives men and women different rights to divorce is broken, prone to misuse and will only create failed societies. Then you are free to blame the hindus, the christians and whatnot for your own failures, that left women in your societies vulnerable to abuse, oppression and discrimination. Time to work for societies where women have equal opportunities to earn their own money, where they can freely roam public spaces without being harassed, instead of upholding traditions which make women completely dependent on men, in one form or another.

You always have a right to take the husband to court if he tries to divorce you by uttering it 3x. You can always take him to court and have the court review his actions, and your rights to your mehr, and you will end up going to court anyway for settling assets and children custody, etc. I don’t know where you think that a divorce if given by a man doesn’t need to go to court. She can always serve him papers; he will need to appear. Yes, even in an Islamic system.
