ruling concerning the valid reasons for divorce
*Please appropriately reference
this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Question:
What are the valid reasons for divorce, from your point of
view your Eminence?
Response:
For divorce there are many reasons:
From
them (i.e. the many reasons for divorce) is lack of harmony
between the husband and the wife such that it does not cause
love from either one for the other or from both of them.
And
from them is bad behaviour of the woman or lack of listening
and obedience to the husband in what he commands of the good.
And
from them is bad behaviour of the husband and his oppressing
the woman and lack of fairness/justice for her.
And
from them is his falling short of fulfilling her rights and
her falling short of fulfilling his rights.
And
from this is the occurrence of wrongdoing from one of them
or both of them such that the situation is made worse because
of this, so the only route is divorce, and from this is the
husband or the wife turning to intoxicants and smoking.
And
from them is the bad state of affairs between the woman and
the husband's parents or either of them, and the lack of use
of wise politics in dealing with each other.
And from them is the lack of the woman in caring and showing
concern in cleanliness and dressing up and beautifying herself
for her husband with perfume and good speech and cheerfulness
when she meets her husband and when they have sexual intercourse.
