The decision to marry in Arab societies, including our society, has become a private, individual matter with no significant influence from religious and family scholars as in the past, and this change is supposed to make the project and institution of marriage specific to the husband and wife according to the concept and requirements desired by the parties to the marriage. Previously, the marriage of children was taken on their behalf. Parents are the ones who choose the wife from their relatives in particular, but now social conditions have changed rapidly and positively making young men and women the ones who choose the other side and determine the time of marriage and what they want from this relationship, without interference from relatives or from society as a whole, we all remember the question that was Everyone asks everyone: Why is your son or daughter not married yet? They give themselves the right to intervene in very private issues that are far from the circumstances of the parties.
With the empowerment of women in our society and the rights they were supposed to enjoy years ago, however, women in the issue of marriage were the weakest in the institution of marriage in terms of their right to divorce, custody, and so on. At that stage, most women were looking forward to marriage, desiring to change family circumstances. Or social or emotional, and it may collide with a different and frustrating reality after marriage, but the view of divorce was negative and severe in society, so women are often victims of a complex and failed marriage project, and they endure for various reasons to preserve the entity of their family, children, or social status, or because divorce is It was a tool used by some men in a way that exploited some women, and it continues to demand divorce for many years. The situation is now different in terms of justice, which gives women their marital rights and triumphs for them in a way that achieves justice for both parties without prejudice or domination by one party against the other, and I would like to confirm that the system Our judiciary does not push or encourage divorce, for example. Rather, there are departments for reconciliation and rapprochement between spouses and help in resolving the conditions that cause divorce in society.
The emerging generations have a different view on the issue of marriage, especially women. Women are now more independent from an economic point of view; She works and has a fixed income and does not need help from anyone. She works like a man, and this creates psychological and social conditions for her to choose her life partner. Yes, our divorce rates are somewhat high compared to neighboring Arab societies, but they are on the rise, as recent reports mentioned that there are 7 divorces every hour; That is, 3 divorces out of every 10 marriage contracts, which causes large economic losses amounting to about 3 billion annually, and may be related to exaggerated marriage expenses such as dowries and lavish parties, some of which unfortunately end in divorce.
