Just in that divorce thingo . I know Muslim women are allowed to demand a divorce if they do wish . If the cleric feels the husband has breached his vows then a woman is granted a divorce then and there.
The man is obliged to pay her a dowry of a minimum of $15,000.

Sharia law does not ban women from getting a divorce.

yep thats true, my cousin in Melbourne got the divorce from her husband as per the islamic law. but it is a long drawn process and not easy as men divorcing her by saying the magic words 3 times.

but the $15,000 part is not exactly true, it can be any amount which was set at the time of the marriage. it can be as little as $100 or $ 1 billion, what ever is agreed and signed on at the time of marriage.

Yep. They can request divorce if the husband abuses them or can't provide for them. That didn't seem to be her stance. Her stance seemed to be that a woman should be able to divorce without reason.

Doesn't our law require a reason as well ? And its usually irreconcilable differences

My friend got divorced before 24 hours . She saw the cleric on Monday night , stated her case , was asked to give it 2 months as they'd only been married 7 months , she refused to give him that much time and agreed to 2 hours .. She then met with him the next day and threw her coffee at him then waited 1hour and 45 minutes and got divorced after the time period had expired..

Divorce in Australia is governed by the laws of the Commonwealth.

You typically have to be separated for 12 months before a Court grants it.

Anything else isn't an actual divorce.

ok i am not sure this particular case of your friend, my cousins husband didnt want to divorce her, he wasnt providing her to support her living nor the kids, he had proven to be violent when he did live with her, she gave him numerous chances to get his act together, basically my cousin simply couldnt live with him, shiekh gave him 3 months notice to counter argue the case why he should be allowed to live with her again, the bloke never got back to the shiekh and it was an automatic divorce. she had to wait 3 months for it after she had to provide ample evidence to the sheikh that the guy was a freak and it was impossible to live with him.

Somehow this ended up in the wrong thread. Definitely not my screw up. Must have been Mr I moving it because he's evil. Pretty sure he's actually Trump... But anyway, here's my post:

As far as the original discussion goes I have this to say.

Anyone who tells women they shouldn't march for their beliefs is just a misogynist. They march because it gives them pride. It empowers them. And if they asked I'd happily march with them.

As far as this march goes, I think it's reacting early. They're marching against Trump because they believe he will introduce sexist policies. There wasn't one point during his campaign that he said he'd introduce sexist policies. These feminists just have a phobia that he'll be completely sexist because there was a tape of him being sexist in a locker room.

Honestly I'm never comfortable with people saying what he said, but all men say it when they're alone. Your sons, your brothers, your husbands. They're all bastards when they're alone. But that's a combination of genetics and peer pressure, and 99% of it is rubbish bullshit stories that men pull out of their arses.

I don't agree with the level the feminists went to with this march especially when you have Ashley Judge saying that Trump is literally Hitler. It's just fear and unfounded fear at that.

Also, the organiser in question has views that I disagree with. She's a Muslim that strongly believes in Sharia Law. I have no issue with that because all Muslims believe in Sharia Law, but she has posted articles in the Guardian saying that America is racist because they won't allow Sharia Law in the US court system. I have a major issue with that. You go to a country you abide by that country's laws. Sure, if you want Sharia Law, ask to be able to practice it. If the government says "no" then follow their laws. Don't call them racist. It's no different than calling someone sexist when they don't pay women more than men.

But as far as feminist marches go, more power to them.
Firstly women talk just as vile of not even more vile than men when they're feeling horny amongst their cool groups (true story) so is as males need not feel like we're naturally dirty pigs.

Secondly how is being against sharia law racist? That in itself would make me stop listening to anything she has to say.

Bahaha yup some women are just as dirty as some men (no surprises) no need for guilt trips over story telling. I've had some women say shit like fuck my face and fuck me like you hate me (thanks ladies ) and shit that I havent even heard of or seen in any pornos.

Having equal job opportunities is one thing but policing sexually charged banter is going too far.

What one person may consider vile or lewd behaviour towards another, the recipient might actually enjoy being treated that way, this extends into even what some might consider harassment and who knows, maybe the pussy on the other end of Donald Trumps 10 year old girl hands might have actually enjoyed being grabbed or she may have been a gold digger...

My friends case was not about violence , it was not about 'not providing for her' or even about infidelity .. It was about not respecting her wants.
She wasn't allowed to work even though she has a law degree and has done a social work internship.
She wasn't allowed to have her mum over without being invited by him , she wasn't allowed to have the garage to park her car ffs..

I have a lot of respect for her to have the maturity to realise it was not going to get any better and for the cleric who could see this too.
