Fatwa to end neighbours’ marriages
An Egyptian Islamic scholar has issued a fatwa encouraging people to monitor the condition of their neighbours’ marriages. If evidence of irreconcilable differences is found, he says, bring it to court.
A fatwa or religious edict issued by a senior Egyptian cleric invites people to end their neighbours’ marriages if they can prove they are collapsing from irreconcilable differences.
“If the evidence that the neighbours present is verified, the court has the right to make the couple divorce,” said Sheikh Jamal Qutb, cited by Dubai-based TV network Al-Arabiya.
The sheikh holds the view that a “community” should have the right to order a divorce.
