🔹 *Early Divorce and the Rise in Khula*
*A Silent Bleeding That Threatens the Stability of Society*
▪️In every home that falls apart just months after marriage, there’s a painful story that doesn’t end with the signing of divorce papers, in fact, it begins there.
▪️A marriage that was built on emotions, not on insight; on social pressure, not on responsibility.
It ended quickly — leaving behind two wounded hearts, and may be a child caught between two parents who are constantly in conflict…
▪️And society? It bears the consequences in the form of behavioral issues, fear of commitment, and a breakdown in family values.
📌 *Divorce is no longer just a last resort*
▫️Khula and divorce have become easy options at the very first disagreement.
▫️And some people have begun to lose patience — not realizing that marriage is a journey of partnership, not a stop for comfort and luxury.
▫️And with the absence of awareness, emotional readiness, and proper Islamic preparation — these experiences turn into emotional and social wreckage that leaves its mark on the entire family and society.
🔸 *The responsibility of parents is not secondary*
❓ `Where are the parents?`
*How many marriages were held just because the parents rushed into it?*
▪️And how many divorces happened because a mother whispered to her daughter, “Ask for khula!”, or a father told his son, “You’re a man, don’t tolerate this!”?
▪️Marriage is not a private deal — it is a project of the ummah.
It starts from the home, and it collapses from the home.
▪️When guidance is absent and emotions are given priority over reason, girls are thrown into marriages they can’t fully understand, and boys are pushed into decisions beyond their capacity.
▪️And then we wonder — why is divorce easier than patience, and khula quicker than communication?
🚸 *And the consequences?*
▪️-Children torn between two parents united only in courtrooms.
▪️-Young men are afraid of getting married — fearing a quick failure.
▪️-Young women, divorced in the prime of their youth — facing judgmental eyes and societal cruelty.
▪️-Immature relationships rising as a substitute for proper nikah — feeding moral decline.
💡 *The solution starts with awareness*
▫️-Preparing children for marriage is just as important as preparing them for school or work.
▫️-Fix whatever can be fixed before even thinking about separation.
▫️-Spreading the culture of patience, understanding, and dialogue — instead of the mindset of “the door is wide enough for a camel to walk out.”
▫️-Activating the role of parents as guides, not instigators — as nurturers, not silent observers.

🔖 *In conclusion:*
🔸Not every divorce is oppression, and not every khula is mistake...
🔸But when they become a widespread trend — then we are in need of serious reflection before families turn to ashes, and family stability becomes a distant, unreachable dream.
📌 *Let’s raise our children with maturity, not haste — with the aim of building homes, not breaking them.*
_Because a strong society… starts with a stable family, not a fleeting relationship._
