Muslim marriage in spotlight - 2 November
The failure of South Africa's Divorce Act to give recognition to monogamous Muslim marriages and afford its protection to women married in terms of Islamic rites has come under the spotlight in the high court in Pietermaritzburg. At the centre of the debate is a Pietermaritzburg Muslim mother, Ayesha Jacob, whose 14-year marriage under Islamic rites to her husband, Abdul Kader Amod Ayoob, has ended. Jacob is being supported in her legal battle to assert her rights by the Women’s Legal Centre Trust (WLC). - The Witness website
