Muslim Divorce

This is by far the most frustrating page on this site to me. I regularly find and link to interesting and helpful resources for Muslims, only to have those resources shut down a few weeks later. I assume that by the time you read this some of the resources I describe here will be gone. I apologize.

Emory Law School has an Islamic Family Law Site. The U.S. State Department maintains a database of country-specific information on some family law issues. Sherif Mohammed has some articles that are more about the relationships between men and women than about divorce. Here's one on Advice to Husbands and another on Women in Islam versus Judaeo-Christian Tradition: The Myth & The Reality.

Here's a paper called Know Your Rights - Muslim Divorce from the Women's Aid Organisation. Here's an article called Muslim Divorce and the 1996 Divorce Amendment Act.

You could read the intensely conservative paper from M. Rafiqul-Haqq and P. Newton on The Place of Women in Pure Islam.

Here's An Islamic Perspective on Divorce from the Muslim Women's League.

Here's the Islam Page, which has on it a wonderful facility for searching the Koran by words or phrases in multiple languages. My search of the word "divorce" turned up lots of references. Here's a description of the The Quranic Concept of Divorce and Islamic Family Law: How to Handle the Challenges from the Islamic City web site.
