Experts blame host of factors for rising divorce in Qatar
DOHA: One of the major reasons for early divorce in the country is lack of understanding between the newly-wed couples and husbands’ impotency, a local Arabic daily reported yesterday citing studies and experts.
The rate of early divorce here is high due to a mix of social factors that range from things like negative impacts of piling up bank loans, ego clashes between the newly-wed, lack of maturity in general and of that of wives in particular.
About 36 percent of early divorce cases take place due to wives disobeying their husbands, while in 20 percent cases wives are accused of misbehaving.
Next come the cases (17 percent) where wives are accused of neglecting house chores, whereas in nine percent of cases husbands get jealous due to various reasons and divorce their wives.
Jealousies might arise when a wife ventures out of home on her own volition or someone happens to ogle at her.
The rest of the cases refer to financial issues, poor relations of wives with husbands’, lack of communication between the newly-wed and disputes over children’s upbringing, Al Raya said citing studies.
One out of three wives is subjected to physical and mental violence due to impotence of the husband and financial problems. Frequent traveling abroad of husbands is blamed by some women and becomes a cause of early divorce in some cases.
Divorce cases before tying the knot are rising in the country due to social traditions that prevent the bride and the groom from intermingling or sitting together and discussing personal issues.
Family intervention in selecting brides for their sons is also a key factor that causes early divorce due to lack of intellectual compatibility.
The number of divorce cases is rising in courts and are settled according to Qatar’s family law, says lawyer Abdul Rahman Al Jufeiry. Sheikh Ahmed Abu Eleinin said the ‘engaged parties’ have the right to meet as per Shariah (Islamic law) guidelines in the presence of one of the fiancée’s relatives.
But often their failure to meet according to Sharia guidelines is the main cause of early divorce although women are educated and go out to work, he said.
Early marriage is still practiced in the community leading to negative impacts due to lack of intellectual, physical and mental maturity. Overseas travels encourage an ‘engaged’ youth to intermingle with people from other cultures and he sometimes breaks up his engagement when he returns home ,said Abdul Karim Ahmed Al Amir, a social researcher.
