The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1878-11-13
An termediat Husband.
From Frazer's Magazine.l

Among Moslems divorce is even simp-
Ter than among the Jews. No "blI of
enforcement is necessary, but only the
shorS verbal formula of we'll myself,
take thy marriage portion, and GO" A
wife may be thus repudiated twice and
taken back but if the fatal formula have
been pronounced a third time, she can
only be recovered after fully consum-
mated marriage with and divorce by an
other husband. This latter condition
sometimes results in awkward contre
temps. The person chosen to play the
part of intermediary husband is gener
ally the oldest and feeblest poor man
that can be found. For a ''considera-
ton he consents to discharge the pro-
visional function, and engages to divorce
the lady on the morrow But it occa-
sionally happens that the faithless old
sinner, having pocketed and earned his
fee, refuses to surrender pretty and
wealthy bride, or only does so after
much longer usufruct than was bargain
ed for, and for a further considerable
money ransom. As may readily be sup
posed, such condition and its incidents
have weight with even the hastiest-tem
pered husbands, and co-act with other
considerations to protect wives against
the risk of talak (repudiation) except
for grave and sufficient reasons. Ger
tain it is that barring in such cases, d.
vorces are now quite as rare among the
Moslem as among the Christian subjects
of the Porte, and hundred times less
common among our more civilized"
selves. Before the Cadi, however, as
before Sir James Hammer, the law in
this respect favors the wife less than the
husband. The latter may brave social
feeling and cut the conjugal knot when
he likes, but the wife can only regain her
freedom on proof of positive illtreatment
or for one or two other grounds of com
plant, and even then at the cast of
abandoning her dowry and trousseau to
her peccant husband
