Dissolution of Muslim Marriage: A Critical Analysis of Laws and Procedure Related to Dissolution of Muslim Marriage in Bangladesh

Abstract

Dissolution of Marriage (Divorce) is the final termination of a marriage that refers cancellation of all legal duties and responsibilities between husband and wife. In Islam, marriage combines legal, social and religious matters together. Marriage is a type of contract that allows wedlock and living together. In Islam divorce is an exclusion of marriage. According to Justice Mahmud, “Muslim marriage is not a sacrament; it is absolutely a civil contract.” In all countries around the world, divorce requires compliance with a number of laws and procedures. Bangladesh also has some laws in that regard. But laws and procedure must change over time, or they continue to increase the complexity.
