“Today in Saudi, women are either at the mercy of their husbands or at the mercy of judges who tend to side with the husbands. The only circumstance that a woman can ask for a divorce or a khali is when her husband is in total agreement with her or if she comes from a very powerful family who decide to back her up.” IfsTodayAsksSidesPowerfulJudgingCircumstancesHusbandMercyDivorceAgreementVery PowerfulSaudis Author:Basmah bint Saud
“I'm against divorce. I think the Bible teaches that divorce is wrong, but at the same time, I also believe that the Bible has a leave way; Jesus said that a person should not be divorced and should not be separated. But in the Old Testament, men could have more than one wife under certain circumstances. And there must be reasons for that. And I think that some of them are valid reasons.” ThinkingMenWayShouldBelievePersonsSaidReasonCertainJesusTeachWifeCircumstancesDivorceTestamentDivorcedOld Testament Author:Billy Graham
“You need a clear, legitimate excuse for why you're behind [the bankruptcy], such as a layoff, divorce, or medical emergency. Be prepared to back up the circumstances with supporting documents.

“There are still many women - and their spouses and children - who view a reflected self - I'm Mrs. Smith, not Mary Smith - as psychologically healthy. Those people are not motivated to change. But it is really dangerous to live through others'. What ever your circumstances, it is not a good idea to be wholly dependent on responses from others to like, respect or love yourself. Your children will grow up and start their own families; the divorce rate has remained at 50 percent for decades.” PeopleChildrenGrowing UpLove YouDangerousCircumstancesHealthyOur ChildrenResponseRateDivorceYour ChildrenMotivatedLove YourselfSpouse Author:Judith M Bardwick
“Love is rather impotent and pitiful: My father must have told me a million times how much he loved me, but that emotion - assuming it was even real - hardly had the strength to counter the many other acts of wrong he committed against me. Contrary to romance novels and the love-conquers-all mentality that even those of us who grow up in an era of divorce are - in response to some atavistic instinct - still raised to believe, love is always a product and a victim of circumstances. It is fragile and small.” BelieveStillsRealRomanceFatherGrowsLove IsEmotionMillionsNovelGrowing UpProductsCircumstancesVictimAssumingInstinctResponseRaisedCommittedDivorceContraryConquerErasFragileMentalityRomance NovelPitifulBelieve In LoveLove Conquers AllVictims Of Circumstance Author:Elizabeth Wurtzel
