Preferred term

law: islamic traditions  

Definition

  • Divorce laws within Islamic traditions are far from homogeneous; furthermore, several different procedures for the termination of a marriage contract are recognized, depending on whether the marriage is terminated by the husband, the wife, or a judicial authority. Access to divorce and spouses' subsequent rights and responsibilities toward former spouses and children of the marriage are based on fundamentally gendered notions of the nature of a marital union.
