Personal Status Bill reveals unexpected oral divorce rule
The new Personal Status Law aims to regulate the issue of verbal divorce by establishing strict procedures for its documentation, thereby ensuring the protection of the wife's rights and the stability of marriage. The law stipulates that a divorce coupled with a number (i.e., multiple pronouncements) is considered as only one divorce. It also requires that the divorce be documented within 15 days of its occurrence for it to have legal and religious validity, making it impossible to rely on unofficial means of communication if the wife disputes being aware of the divorce. Additionally, the officiant is mandated to attempt reconciliation and verify the occurrence of the divorce according to sharia. If uncertainty remains, the authority of Dar al-Ifta or Al-Azhar is to be consulted.
