I really hope she doesn't get divorced!!!
I know that God HATES divorce and Jesus didn't support it unless 1 person or another had been unfaithful in the marriage.
Marriage is so very damaging to people's hearts and emotions. It puts children in an awkward and difficult situation and for what?
What happened to following the SPIRIT of the law? Isn't that what Jesus came preaching? There was the story of the woman who was literally caught in the very act of adultery. By Jewish law, she was to be put to to death!
But Jesus didn't order that. He told her to "go and sin no more". She was forgiven, because again, Jesus taught following the SPIRIT of the law. Not just strict rules and regulations all the time.
So, isn't there *SOME* provision under Islam that would excuse her for NOT divorcing her husband? I mean, if he is a good man, a good husband and father, why should her whole world, and his, and their children's be turned upside down just because of the faith that she has chosen?
