Islamic Divorce Act

The Islamic Divorce Act provides a legal framework for Muslim men and women to formalize the process of divorce according to Islamic principles. It outlines procedures for initiating, executing, and recording divorce, ensuring both parties' rights are protected. The Act emphasizes fairness, requiring the husband to pronounce a pronouncement of divorce (talaq) and, in some cases, obtain court approval. It also covers maintenance, custody, and paternity issues post-divorce. Overall, the Act aims to integrate Islamic personal laws within the statutory legal system, promoting clarity, legality, and fairness in dissolution of marriage for Muslim individuals.
