there was just a program about australian muslim divorce. 3 couples getting divorce with sheiks as councillors/judges.
one man had left the wife with 6 kids and had a child with new wife. they wouldn't let the 1st get divorced without husbands approval, and he wasn't approving. one husband left the wife with their child after 2 years of marraige. she was not allowed to divorce him without his approvaal and was told she had to pay him whatever he asked, maybe $2,000, maybe more.
pretty heavy. the women had to keep returning to beg for their divorces. 1 couple ended up back together.
one of the older judges was saying that in the qu'ran, the man has to be the one to get the divorce. a younger judge gave an islamic divorce as she had already got a legal divorce whilst the husband had been in prison for fraud. but anther judge claimed they were not divorced by islam law.
not so easy for the women. what happened to the womens rights as supposedly given by the prophet?
