Divorce is a hard process for a married couple, but if it is a must for a just solution, it is legally allowed by Islam. It seems easy for a couple to divorce themselves legally once certain grounds for divorce are present, such as domestic violence, neglect and lack of support, etc. In practice, it is not something that families embark upon with ease. It is an unpleasant situation, especially in the more traditional segments of Islamic society, even though divorce has lost its disdain in the present-day European or American Muslims.

Currently, there is much debate going on in the Islamic world about protecting the rights of women whose husbands abuse them and refuse to divorce them. Divorce is not a pleasant situation, and the ICof A Imams will help guide divorcing couples through the difficult process of obtaining a divorce as permitted in Islam.

If you are considering a divorce and are in need for any consultation by the Imams of ICofA, please call or visit the center for assistance.
