Palestinian judge bans divorce while Ramadan and his reason is downright hilarious!
There is no civil marriage or divorce in Palestinian territory and only religious courts have the power to announce decisions on marriages and divorces
The head of Palestinian Islamic courts on Sunday asked the judges not to grant divorces over Ramadan, as he fears that people tend to speak more rashly which they regret later.
Judge Mahmoud al-Habash, the head of the Palestinian Islamic Sharia court system, said that he has taken the decision based on “previous years’ experience.”
“People who deprive themselves of food and cigarettes during daylight hours may create problems in their relationship and then make quick and ill-considered decisions,” Habash added.
Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset and abstain from food, water, smoking, and sex during this month. The end of Ramazan is marked with a three-day festival Eid-ul-Fitr.
