Questioner: Ladies
[In His Most Exalted Name
His Holiness, Imam Khomeini (May his blessings last long),
The right of divorce disposed to men has brought about concern and annoyance on the part of Iran's combatant women, assuming that they have by no means right of divorce. This led some people to misuse of circumstances. What does His Eminence think about such case?]
In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
For women, the prophet of Islam made an easy way to divorce them. If the wife sets conditions when concluding a marriage to be attorney in divorce completely or conditionally; that is, in case of the husband's misbehavior or for example, marrying a second wife, the wife can be attorney to divorce herself with no problems whatsoever.
I implore God Almighty to grant success to ladies. It is hoped that they are not impressed by opponents of Islam and Islamic Revolution because Islam is for all and beneficial to all.
