Divorce for three times

In Shia Islam, the process of divorce warrants formal judicial oversight to ensure adherence to Islamic principles. This guarantees that divorces are executed fairly and justly. Religious judges, or “qadis,” play a crucial role in mediating disputes and ensuring that both parties understand their rights and obligations.

The participation of a third party in the mediation process—often a trusted elder or community leader—can facilitate amicable resolutions, thereby reinforcing social ties and communal bindings. Judicial scrutiny serves not only to validate the integrity of the divorce process but also to uphold the broader tenets of justice and fairness deeply entrenched in Shia thought.
