Local Shariah Council Has Dissolved Marriage (Faskh-e-Nikah), Permissible?
As I stated above, if the council is given authority by the Muslim community under the law of the land, the members are well-versed in Islamic Shariah, and the parties put their trust in it, they are the authority to make such decisions. This is nothing different from the courts of law in a country. They are established on the same grounds on a comparatively larger scale. It is the responsibility of the deciding authority to investigate the matter to the best of their capacity. Everyone whether man or woman has the right to approach the court or any authority for the problem they feel they need to consult them. Being unhappy is the core of the problem and is sufficient to deal with. In the time of the prophet, a woman’s marriage dissolved for the reason that she disliked the countenance of her husband.
