[QUOTE]Originally posted by metinoot: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Ayisha: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by metinoot: [QUOTE]Originally posted by Ayisha: [qb] Mahr is not always paid in total and some can be deferred which depending on the reason on who initiates the divorce mahr will then be due in full. There is also in some contracts an amount stipulated to be paid on divorce which is seperate from mahr. So the 'cost' of divorce would depend on what was written in the origina contract. [/qb][/QUOTE]that explains why marriage is so costly. Now what you described may be what westerner "wife" and an Egyptian husband sign a contract to, but an Egyptian woman would never settle for that. [/QUOTE]so on the one hand this explains to you why marriage is so costly but at the same time convinces you this only happens with westerner/Egyptian marriages? Most westerners are not demanding ridiculous amounts anyway. Yes Egyptian and other Muslim communities DO accept and do this. "The divorce initiated by the wife is known as Khul' (if the husband is not at fault) and requires that the wife return her dowry to end the marriage because she is the 'contract-breaker'. In the instance of Talaaq, [b]where the husband is the 'contract-breaker', he must pay the dowry in full in cases where all or part of it was deferred,[/b] or allow the wife to keep all of it if she has already been given it in full." http://www.islamweb.net/emainpage/index.php?page=articles&id=92752 [QUOTE]What Debs is asking is how much it will cost her boyfriend to divorce his Egyptian wife. [/QUOTE]Nowhere has Debs said that, you have assumed that. [/qb][/QUOTE]Not much of an assumption if you read Debs post history: http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=3;t=004602;p=1#000000 and you are viewing divorce via fundamentals of Islam, not how Islam is actually practiced by the people. For a woman to get a Talaaq divorce takes years and it might not even happen. In the meantime he will make her life hell. Otherwise there is the Khul divorce which is happening at a quicker speed than the Talaaq. A woman can ask for a Talaaq divorce as she can for a Khul divorce. In both cases she'll more than likely walk away with nothing. Which is why marriage has gotten expensive, the bride asks for everything upfront and just files for a Khul divorce knowing she won't need to request a settlement. Remember Debs lover might not exactly be honest with her on how much this divorce will cost. If he is 33 years old, he's probably been married for less than 5 years and thus he had to pay mahr upfront. [/QB][/QUOTE]
