The law, which was supposed to encourage
marriage and the family institution, has turned into
a tool of separation and divorce. Major problems
between spouses that are related to the current
family law exist in the area of finance mainly with
regard to the marriage portion (mahr), daily
expenses (nafaqah) and wages for housework. Each
of these three items alone is enough to discourage
young adults from getting married or bring about a
collapse in the marriage and/or divorce among
already married couples
