urdu پاکستان میں طلاق سے متعلق اسلامی قانون کے نفاذ میں مشکلات کا جائزہ اور ان کا حل

Hussain Ahmed — 2025-04-04

Human society originated from the formal relationship between men and women through marriage, which subsequently led to the formation of families and tribes. The foundational principles of marriage have been outlined in divine revelations, and Islamic Shariah, particularly in the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), provides comprehensive guidance for its establishment, continuity, organization, and stability. However, in unavoidable circumstances where maintaining a marriage becomes difficult or impossible, Islam has provided a well-structured mechanism for its dissolution, known as divorce (Talaq). Islamic family laws contain clear injunctions regarding divorce, which scholars have interpreted in different ways according to the needs of their times. Various forms of divorce, such as Talaq-e-Bid'ah and Talaq-e-Hasan, have been discussed in Islamic jurisprudence.

Pakistan, being an Islamic state, has incorporated in its constitution the obligation to implement laws in accordance with the Quran and Sunnah. Consequently, the Government of Pakistan introduced the Muslim Family Laws Ordinance in 1961, which is currently enforced throughout the country. The implementation of Islamic divorce laws faces several challenges, including adherence to cultural traditions, the legitimization of Talaq-e-Bid'ah, the misconception that divorce is solely a man's right, unilateral termination of marriage by men, negligence in following Quranic commandments and Hadith regarding divorce, lack of awareness among family court judges regarding Islamic teachings, insufficient knowledge of Islamic divorce laws among legal practitioners, ignorance of Islamic principles among spouses, contradictions between Islamic and secular legal frameworks, delays in legal proceedings due to lawyers' tactics, and the complexity of judicial procedures. This paper critically examines the difficulties in enforcing Islamic divorce laws and provides comprehensive solutions to address these challenges.

Pakistani television dramas have increasingly focused on family life, particularly marital relationships, portraying frequent conflicts between spouses. The rapid growth of private TV channels has led to an abundance of dramas being aired daily, making them an integral part of public discourse. However, these dramas often depict exaggerated self-centered behavior in both men and women, fostering unrealistic expectations and distrust in relationships.This study analyzes the portrayal of marital conflicts in popular Pakistani Urdu dramas, examining the major causes behind disputes between married couples. Through content analysis, the research explores how domestic narratives contribute to the weakening of marital bonds. Furthermore, it investigates the broader impact of television dramas on shaping public attitudes towards marriage, separation, and gender roles. Findings suggest that the widespread depiction of marital discord in television content may encourage attitudes favoring divorce and undermine family stability.The study highlights the cultural and social influence of television content and emphasizes the need for responsible storytelling that aligns with Islamic and traditional family values. Recommendations include promoting positive narratives that strengthen marital relationships, encourage conflict resolution, and uphold ethical and moral principles in media representation.

This article highlights the importance of Arabic translation in global academic progress. It covers three main periods of translation: Bayt al-Hikmah during the Abbasid era (8th-10th centuries), the Andalusian translation movement (10th-12th centuries), and the translation efforts in Istanbul under the Ottoman Empire (15th-16th centuries). Bayt al-Hikmah in Baghdad translated Greek and Persian works into Arabic, with scholars like Hunain bin Ishaq and al-Kindi leading the way. In Andalusia, Arabic knowledge was translated into Latin, influencing European thinking and the Renaissance. The Ottoman Empire focused on translating Arabic, Persian, and Turkish works, spreading Arabic knowledge across cultures. These translation movements were key in developing global academic growth and fostering intercultural connections.
