Why Mohammad made divorce so easy for Men?

Question

A Muslim man can divorce his wife only by saying three times "Talak".
Is it the reason why men are attracted to Islam? Don't they think that thier daughter may also be divorced in the same way.

Answer 1

I found this....

[4:34] Men are in charge of women, because Allah hath made the one of them to excel the other, and because they spend of their property (for the support of women). So good women are the obedient, guarding in secret that which Allah hath guarded. As for those from whom ye fear rebellion, admonish them and banish them to beds apart, and scourge them. Then if they obey you, seek not a way against them. Lo! Allah is ever High, Exalted, Great.

Answer 2

It certainly is a religion that caters to men and NOT women! Because Muslim men can say talak/ I divorce you 3 times and be done with you, women will likely do anything to stay with the man, because in many of the strictest Muslim countries women cannot even go out without a male escort, let alone, drive or own property. They would also lose custody of their children. This is also why they buy as much wedding jewelry as they can and keep it on them at all times, since that is essentially all they can take with them if they are divorced. It must be a horrible way to live, but if you have been brought up in this culture and it is all you know, what options do you really have, except it, and death? I'm sure there are some equitable divorces but far too many are not, because women DO NOT have equal rights and the man has the upper hand (and the judges are men) in comparison to the man. So here is an article that does back up what I am saying: http://www.mtholyoke.edu/acad/intrel/genislam.htm

As a matter of fact, prior to islam men would divorce women, take them back .. and going back and forth. so islam placed the limit to 3 times with which you can divorce the same person. Thereafter you cannot remarry her, untill she is married to someone else and then divorced. And when you do divorce you are supposed to stay together 3 months.. giving the two a chance to reconcile their differences.

Answer 4

what u are saying is not true divorce in Islam is not just saying talak three times it's so complected .and after saying this world the woman should stay in her husband house three months to let the man and the woman to think about being back to each other .
if this doesn't happen after three months they will be divorced.
it's not easy don't even think about it

Answer 5

Because Islamic men believe that women don't have any rights and it gives them a good excuse for divorcing a woman if they see another one they want. If it is a rule than "surely" they can't be sinning. Justification for wrong actions.

Answer 6

First of all, Mohammad did no such thing! he didn't come up with "talak" he only relayed it to the other people. and its not that easy to divorce. Quran says to try a cool down period, which would be called taking a break.

Answer 7

Those Muslims who utter three divorce pronouncements at one time or in one statement are rebels against Allah's law and are deviating from the straight path of Islam. Once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was informed about a man who had pronounced three divorces at one time, he got up in anger, saying: "Is sport being made of the Book of Allah while I am (yet) among you?" As a result, a man stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah, shall I not kill him?" (Reported by an-Nasa'i)"

Answer 8

I reject Islam a) because of Muhammad’s lack of moral and ethical fortitude and b) because of the absurdities in the Quran.

a) Muhammad lived a less than holy life. His lust for sex, his affairs with his maids and slave girls, his pedophilic relationship at age 54 with Aisha, a 9-year-old child, his killing sprees, his massacre and the genocide of the Jews, his slave making and trading, his assassination of his opponents, his raids and lootings of the merchant caravans and unarmed villagers, his burning of trees, his destroying the water wells, his cursing and invoking evil on his enemies, his revenge on his captured prisoners of war, his torturing of his captives to for greed and his hallucinations such as believing of having sex with his wives when he actually did not, disqualify him as a sane person let alone a messenger of God.

b) An unbiased study of the Quran shows that far from being a “miracle”, that book is a hoax. The Quran is replete with scientific heresies, historic blunders, mathematical mistakes, logical absurdities, grammatical errors and ethical fallacies. Could possibly the author of this Universe be as ignorant as it appears to be in the Quran?

Answer 9

Salam Your eeman or faith could be bolstered by using (a million)believing the 6 pillars of religion (the life of Allah,angels,holy books,prophets/trasools,akheerat life and qadr),(2)appearing the 5 concepts of Islam (shahadah,praying a minimum of 5 cases an afternoon,fasting,paying zakat and hajj pilgrim) (3)reciting,getting to grasp and expertise the Qur'an and hadith as muslim life instruction manual and training it in everyday life

Answer 10

How else could he have justify having sex with all those women including his daughter-in-law. Women in islam don't have any say whatsoever regardless of all the hogwash they try to tell nowadays.
