Got your attention right, well this article is not about, how to get quickest divorce or converting your religion to facilitate your divorce. Its about the notion, we often have of other religion and cultures. Many people of other religions believe that a married Muslim can dissolve his marriage at any time by saying "Talaq, Talaq, Talaq" at one occasion of his own free will and desire. Talaq means - I divorce you.
Triple Talaq is a controversial Sunni Islamic procedure whereby a husband can divorce his wife by saying to her "talaq, talaq, talaq".
But there are misconception about how a husband divorces his wife, and whether pronouncement of divorce three times at once is valid.
Did you know that in Islam -
1. Talaq/Divorce is strongly condemned
2. It is recommended that in case of difficulties within the marriage that the husband and wife cannot solve by themselves, each shall appoint an arbitrator to resolve the matter.
The triple pronouncement of talaq has been banned by law in many nations including - Turkey, Tunisia, Algeria, Iraq, Iran, Indonesia, and Bangladesh. India is one of the country that still permits it.
I imagine many of us, looking out of the window pondering, 'wish we had the same in our laws, no worried of loosing our inheritance no worry of prenups' - but hey we can't be selfish, how the lawyers would have managed to put the bread and butter on their table or for that matter drive a Ferrari.
Now this is interesting, did you know - divorce rates in US has dropped significantly since 1980 and so is the marriage rate (50% drop since 1970).
