Some Conditional Clauses and their Effect on Divorce Verdict A Comparative Study
The study addressed the issue of the suspended divorce through the use of divorcee conditional
clauses in order to suspend the divorce. The study showed some of the most important divorce
conditional clauses. The study clarified the provisions of linguistic rules, and then demonstrated the
impact of these conditional clauses on the verdict of divorce by gentlemen scholars who were in
consent with some issues, yet diverged in other terms related to the occurrence or to the nonoccurrence of divorce, Such as: If he says to his wife, after copulation, (if) (if) (when) I have divorced
you then you are divorced, then he speak the word (of divorce) once, it will be counted as two times.
In another example, if the husband tells his wife (any time I do not divorce you then you are
divorced), she will be divorced if a time passed when divorce can be possible. Also if the husband
says (every time was divorce cast on you, you will be divorced) this act will be counted as if he
divorced her three times. Alternatively, if he says (every time I say the word divorce to you, you will
be divorced) and then he spoke the word divorced once, she will be and it will be counted as if he
divorced her twice. Scholars disagree on a number of cases, like if the husband says to his wife
((whenever) (if), (if), (when) you enter, you are divorced) and he spoke the word of divorce three
times. Then she returns to him after being married to another, she, most likely, will not be divorced if
she entered the house. Also if a man uses these clauses to divorce a woman that is not his wife yet,
and says ((whenever) (if), (if), (when) I marry you, you are divorced. Then he got married from her.
It, most probably, will not be counted as divorce. Another example, if he tells his wife ((whenever)
(if), (if), (when) Allah willed it you will be divorced. It, most likely, will not be counted as a divorce.
