ARE WOMEN ALLOWED TO INITIATE DIVORCE?
-
I should have posted this query in the Matrimony section but I think this could attract more attention here.
Are women allowed to initiate divorce in the light of the Quran? Thanks in advance for your answers.

salam farida. i have seen your sense on other threads, nonsense.
justice, is allah's judgment wherein there is no error. only the unjust dispute, rant, and rage aginst the judgment of allah. i recall you ranting and raging when reminded of the judgment of allah. go your way.
allah is the truth.
Salam and Peace on you.
A momin of Allah is a civilized person, never talks in a way which is diametrically against The Teachings of The Exalted Quran.

4128 "If a woman has reason to fear ill-treatment or even a lack of interest from her husband, neither of them will be blamed if they come to a peaceful settlement, for peace is best. Selfishness is always present in human souls. If you do good and are mindful of God, He is well aware of all that you do."
435 "If you have reason to fear that a problem might occur between married couples, appoint one arbiter from among his family and one arbiter from among her family. If they both want to set things right, God may bring about their reconciliation. God is all-knowing, fully aware. "
From these signs I would say - yes! Women most definitely can initiate a divorce settlement. Why wouldn't a woman be able to make such a decision? If a woman were being beaten or mentally abused wouldn't it be in keeping with God's fair and just system (deen) to allow that woman to leave the marriage?

The question is even simpler than that
Where are women int he Qur'an forbidden to initiate divorce?
Anything that is not mentionned as forbidden, when it deals with women, must be tken that if it is not expressly instructed is foridden? How so? Men are the forbidders instead of God?
Are men idolaters of themselves?

The Indian thinker Ashghar Ali Engineering, who died not long ago, pointed out tht the Qur'an adresses men int erms of duties nd women in terms of rights.
Male egocentricity has indeed turned tht into making the Qur?n a boys club males are addressed because they count, omen are not addressed because they do not count.
Accoding to Ashghar Engineer nd according to anybody whot akes care of reading that is written, mles are addressed because they are told to comply with what tis ordered them by God. God is not giving them a spaceial right to divorce or giving them a special right to marry non muslim women, and many other things, God merely tell them that if they divorce they should do this and this this and that, and that if they marry non muslim women they must do this and that... Not to give them privileges, but to imopose of them duties.
Male vanity is boundless and those men who fall into that abyss are certainly not like males who have a sense of manliness and self respect and modesty. The world and women, most patently do not need boys clubbers but real honest men who are aware of their duties and feel pride in fulfilling them loyaly.

I was thinking this myself the other day, when I was having a discussion on the status of men and women in the Qur'an. Men are being given directives and warnings not to transgress the limits set by our rabb. Yet men seem to be of the impression that God is instructing them because women have a lower status, and therefore need to be treated like that of a child. Mmmm don't get me started!

Sometimes GOD is not even talking to men or about men,yet in their arrogance they take the subjectivity if it means "pride" and "honour" to them. I said if it means it to them,I did not say GOD meant whatsoever. Most of the times we just give the meanings our own twist!!!!
Men,yes men( Or the biggest majority) needed to be given what the brave women put up with in life,then we will see how "strong" and "mighty" it will make them feel?
Ok ,so there are some women who also need lessons.We all need lessons.Our attitude of "different" races/gender/tribes/...needs adjusting and deregulated!
"Ya aayuha Al-Naas"...GOD is talking to all of us!
"Inna khalknakum min Dakarin Wa Untha...Yes both sexes involved in reproducing us-Humans_...... etc..
.Inna Akramakum inda Allah Atqaakum." Yes indeed those who are peaceful/good/No gender bias... are Atqaakum" -simply the best!- Remember here the opposite of "Atqaakum" is "Aadakum" - opressors"-!!!!
"wa taawanu ala Al-birri wa Al-Taqwa, Wala Taawanu Ala Al-Ithmi wa Al-uudwan". Opposit of Taqwa is Uudwan( oppression). i.e Compete in Al-birri and Taqwa brothers and sisters!!!!!Anyway, my rant again.
GOD bless you all.
Peace. -

Thanks for the rant! Couldn't agree more!
GOD bless you all.
