Paragraph 1: The Problem of Divorce
Divorce is a social problem, which is
a general phenomenon in all societies and seems to be increasingly prevalent in
our societies in modern times. Divorce results in some negative effects in the
disintegration of the family, the increasing enmity and hatred and negative
effects on children and then the numerous social and psychological effects
ranging from mental disorders to deviant behavior and crime and so on.
There is no doubt that regulating the
relationship between men, women and family formation has attracted the
attention of scholars for a long time. We find in all the laws and ethics wide
classes to regulate this relationship and to ensure its existence and continuation.
Religious leaders, intellectuals, sociologists and psychologists care about
this relationship, all attempts on their part serve the success of this
relationship because this is the continuation of life itself, happiness and
development.
There are several reasons for divorce,
including marital boredom, ease of change and finding as alternative, the
tyranny of life and the search for physical pleasures and the spread of
selfishness and weakness. Another cause of divorce is infidelity. Many views
agree on the impossibility of continuing the relationship after the occurrence
of marital infidelity, especially in the case of treacherous women. In case of a
man’s breach, there are different opinions and justifications abound that try
to support the continuation of the relationship.

Paragraph 2: (Divorce in the UAE)
In our country, it seems that this
phenomenon is excessive compared with other communities. Doubt, increased
jealousy and mistrust without convincing evidence of infidelity can be the
cause of corruption of marital relationships which requires treatment for both
of them. Statistics have concluded that the number of divorce cases in Abu
Dhabi in March 2009 and published in the newspaper Emirates Today indicate that
the divorce rate in the UAE has reached about 26%; on the basis of this figure,
the UAE ranks third in the Middle East in the incidence of divorce. A study, by Marriage Fund along with the
University of Sharjah in 2011, concerning 1,742 Emirati divorced women, exposed
that lack of communication due to lack of agreement in the marriage is one of
the main causes of divorce among Emiratis.
There are 13.5% of divorced women
married at the age of at least 14 years old, in late childhood, as there are
23.7% of divorcing couples are young people aged between 20 - 24 years old, and
the wife takes the initiative 43% in divorces, and the pair by 39%, and 12% in
agreement, and 3.7% at the request of the husband's family, and 2.1% at the
request of the wife's family. Reports showed that marriage and divorce in the UAE
had always been associated with the domestic economic condition, with weddings
increasing when there is an economic improvement and divorces rushing when
there is a decline. Although Emiratis account for just less than a fifth of the
emirate’s population, they exceeded a third of the total divorces last year,
with 379 cases.

Paragraph 3: Solutions
Divorce recently increased in the
Arab countries, an indication of the disintegration of social values. High
divorce rates are recently noted in the UAE society, as a result of the
economic movement that crowded the country. Sociologists relate this phenomenon
to various reasons.
Some solutions to the divorce problem
are: resolving marital disputes through dialogue and understanding between
spouses. Allowing the parents of the husband to see his fiancée before
marriage. Making good choices for men and women is an important thing. Acquiring
knowledge of the marital life of a culture of legality and realism. Knowing
each other’s duties and responsibilities helps to avoid divorce. Other
solutions to this problem are: the couple should make concessions to each other.
Expanding welfare programs and social assistance even ease the burden on the
shoulders of the family which is the cause of the problems caused by divorce.
To avoid divorce in our society, the
government has to reconsider the legal process of divorce and make it more
serious in the eyes of requests for divorce so that the parties may reconsider.
