"Islamic Law and Divorce" provides a thorough examination of the elements of Sharia, or Islamic law that govern divorce. The foundational sources of Islamic law—the Quran, Hadith, and the consensus of Islamic scholars—that together form the basis of the legal system pertaining to marriage and divorce are introduced at the beginning of the book. After that, it discusses the various Islamic divorce procedures, including Khula, Mubarat, and Talaq, outlining their unique legal ramifications and procedural steps. A critical examination of the roles played by men and women in starting divorce proceedings is offered, illuminating the gender dynamics and rights granted to each party under Sharia law. The book also discusses current topics, such as how divorce laws are interpreted in various Islamic nations and how legal reforms have affected long-standing customs. The book offers a global perspective on the intersections between these religious precepts and secular legal frameworks by contrasting Islamic divorce laws with those found in other legal systems. It also covers the financial, psychological, and societal ramifications of divorce in Muslim societies.
