98. QUESTION: A further question on divorce.

ANSWER: Since God, exalted be His glory, doth not favour divorce, nothing

was revealed on this issue. However, from the beginning of the separation

until the end of one year, two people or more must remain informed as

witnesses; if, by the end, there is no reconciliation, divorce taketh

place. This must be recorded in the registry by the religious judicial

officer of the city appointed by the Trustees of the House of Justice.

Observance of this procedure is essential lest those that are possessed of

an understanding heart be saddened.
