Description
Summary:Sheikh Khalil Chami advises frustrated suburban Australian women on how they can get divorced. All the women are Muslim and the discussion is not about getting an Australian civil law divorce from the Family Court, which some already have, but about getting a divorce under sharia law, an Islamic religious law based on the Koran. Women who don't have the consent of their husbands, can have considerable difficulty getting a sharia divorce. Until this divorce is granted, the community regards them as married and no sheikh will agree to marry them again. Divorce: Aussie Islamic Way follows a number of Muslim women as they negotiate divorce through two different cultures.
