SAUDI ARABIA: DIVORCE BANNED DURING RAMADAN IN KATEEF

(ANSAmed) - ROME, AUGUST 1 - The local religious authority for the province of Kateef, in the north eastern part of the kingdom, has banned divorce during the month of Ramadan fasting, which began today, as the latter is meant to facilitate reconciliation among spouses.

''Allowing divorce during the month of Ramadan will not be possible'', Mohammed Al Jirani, a judge at the religious authority, told 'Al Quds Al Arabi' newspaper.

According to the judge, the body is convinced that the ban will help diminish separations, giving those with the intention to separate "more time to think".

The judge highlighted that ''some divorce cases, divorce being the worst of things allowed within the Muslim religion could end with the two people making up during Ramadan. This month, prayer activities which bring peace to the human being will increase".(ANSAmed).
