Abstract

Child marriage has become one of the most controversial issues in Islamic law (fiqh). Some scholars approve the practice without any reservations while others do not. In my opinion, we have to take into account the advantages and disadvantages of child marriage in broader sense before we decide to allow or disallow this to happen. Making a clear legal status of such child marriage is necessary because the substance of the Islamic law is create a better life for society now and in the future. Islamic law should cater the humanitarian vision and be relevant to the changing situation of our dynamic community. If it is found that child marriage in contemporary societies has resulted in many negative effects then it should be legally disapproved.

Abstract

In principle, divorce is an unwanted decision for married couples. However, sometimes this is undeniable for many reasons. In Islam, divorce is perceived as an emergency exist for those who could not bare the marriage any longer. What is important to underline is the perceived opinion that it is only the husband who has the authority to divorce his wife. This article attempts at questioning this opinion. In addition, it debates different rights for husband and wife to get a divorce as stated in the fiqh text (known as talaq and kbulii').
