Divorce in Lebanon 🇱🇧 | Al Jazeera World

- Beirut's recent trash woes have given light to its underlying political instability but Lebanon is often overlooked for its religious tolerance and diversity. The small country that borders the Mediterranean officially recognises 18 different religious denominations, each with the freedom to administer marriage, divorce and alimony matters to those of their faith.
Civil marriage is also a viable option for all denominations, and is increasingly popular, especially among couples from different faiths. Some might argue, however, that the increased freedoms come at a price.
According to statistics from the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia, between the years of 2000 and 2013, the divorce rate in Lebanon increased by 55 percent. Regardless, many maintain that the flexibility is necessary. This system legitimises various different religious courts which then coordinate and communicate with other courts, government bodies, that control disputes outside of the religious context.

Very good documentary. It's a strange circumstance these women find themselves in. The girl who is young whose husband would hit her I feel especially bad for. She is still a child, the poor dear.
Whatever isn't according to scripture is considered unscriptural and thus forbidden except for infidelity as rights in regards to divorce. The western medua and other similar countries preach about their twisted rights of divorce (except fir infidelity) to other countries which isn't allowed religiously speaking.
@@RaffaelloLorenzusSayde Women are supposed to stay in violent marriages because their “holy book” tell them to? This sounds very upsetting, women are allowed to divorce their husbands irregardless of their “holy book”
i love this! good job on making this!
me too
Bad job. Women who divorce for other than infidelity are to be punished justifiably.
@@RaffaelloLorenzusSayde Can men get punished if he divorces his wife?
feeling sorry for these beautiful ladies.
Don't feel sorry 👍 divorce is only permited if a spouse cheats on her/his lover..
This is very sad...but this is not in Lebanon only where women get beaten it's everywhere I mean such type of person find everywhere.... Allah bless those women and give strength
Yes, it happens everywhere but in some countries the law is not in favor of women.
@@roja7426 I agreed to what you said. Just like in the PH.
They probably cheated on their husbands or acted like dirty in front of their husbands or in public or in private or secretive that's why they were treated badly
@@RaffaelloLorenzusSayde Blame the victim! It’s not the abusers fault at all. 😡
@Yaz F Most women in Lebanon tend to be cleaner, more moral, loyal, faithful, conservative, and more religious, etc. than most of the Western ones due to this law being implemented.
It's a very interesting documentary, but I can't help to miss the male perspective. I get that the guy who beat his wife might not want to be on camera but what do men in general think of divorce in Lebanon? Still though, good to show strong women standing up for them selves in a system that seems to be against them!
Cecilia sjolund Lebanon is not an homogenous Nation it is composed of different nations which means different cultures and societies even though they share the food the land and other superficial things thus why the the war exploded therefor to explain it better your thinking determines your ideologies and from ideologies comes either you create a deity in relation to the ideologies you believe in or identify in an existing one also in addition , your religion and ideologies influence your behavior individually and collectively and from a common collective identification in both ideologies and deity a society is born that will form principals in relation to determine the behavior of individuals in that society and in order to protect the society they have to protect the principals therefore they form laws to protect them as in laws are made for the protection of decency and from there on protection of the individuals right and the the society's rights through how justice was perceived from the elements that gave birth to that society . Father Son and Holy Spirit Amen
after the glamorous wedding the ending divorce so sad life it's better to be a single forever no body can't hurt you physically emotionaly and mentaly bcoz not all man you encounter and propose you to get married are good dats y not all man and woman they get married are happily married..
I believe beforehand when a couple gets married they need to know each on a much deeper level like understanding each other but unfortunately they pretend to love each other for personal gains . or to satisfy their parents. But Marriage should be taken seriously and not for each others interests in the marriage because in the long run children are going. To suffer mental a anguish and pay the price. A couple need to have a strong vision for their LIFE . what they really want from the relationships BEFORE they get hitched their wagon to a star. Wishing on a. Star to follow who u are . wishing on a Dream to follow what it means
Peace in our TIME. Love and understanding 2019 !
I completely agree with you, but unfortunately many people pretend to be somebody else while in the dating phase and completely change after the wedding day. How are honest people supposed to detect these con artists?
To why selfishness is a Sin in eyes of the Lord.
I don't know much about a dowry, but it seems to me that if they are getting a divorce, she has no right to the full dowry. This should also be half. If they are married, yes, she has right to all the money of the dowry. It's hers to do whatever she wants with it whether she works or not, but in the case of a marriage that's being dissolved, it would not be right for her to be owed all of the dowry, especially if they should be dividing things 50/50 in the first place. On the other had, it doesn't seem like the courts divi up things half/half for them, so maybe the dowry owed to her is all she has.
They don't divide things 50/50 that's why the dowry is there. In Islam its the duty of the man to provide for his family. The dowry is an obligation from him to her, he chose to accept that obligation when marrying knowing the implications of divorce, you don't just get to alter the rules now that the situation is occurring. The dowry is supposed to help the woman survive after marriage if something happens, in cases of men not being able to pay alimony, the dowry was supposed to protect her but if he refused to pay that or the courts pressured her to forgo the dowry to get the divorce quicker (which is wrong of them) then she is not only losing her rights but in a vulnerable position.
these poor women treated like property by these corrupt male courts
This our country, if you don't like it, you could leave 👍
@@RaffaelloLorenzusSayde So you’re okay with your female relatives being treated like rubbish by the men that are supposed to protect them??
In my opinion, everything should be split 50/50 according to law. If they can't come to an agreement themselves, the court should divi it up for them: half/half in the case of a dissolution of marriage. Nobody pays anything to each other unless it's child support. If a person has no job to support himself/herself, then he/she needs to file for government assistance or if this route is refused, then with a private organization to help the person get on his/her feet during their hardship. With that being said, divorce shouldn't be taken lightly. There should be 3 major grounds for divorce: Abuse, Addiction, & Neglect of Conjugal duties (which includes adultery-don't cheat!) These charges should be separate and carried out by the courts outside of the divorce.
According to the Bible, what isn't mentioned is unbiblical and thus forbidden to become a right in regards to divorce.
sad, the children should be with mothers first and foremost. it's unnatural and a vindictive punishment to take the child away from the mother in divorce
not necessarily
Is it natural to take the child from the Father? Who says so? We have lived the effects of this also. It has not turned out well.
Without a Father in the home a real man of responsibility, accountability and strength you have a real issue with children growing up in a disastrous situation.
Great documentary, Bad translation
أتفق معك ، أنا لبنانيه ووجدت أخطاء كثيرة في الترجمات.
The music in the background is scary. It sounded like it’s coming from a horror movie.💀
It is also their mistake...why they didn't chose civil mariage from the beginning
There's a huge stigma against civil marriage
They were raised in a society that thought them otherwise, not everyone has the chance to know these options. Tunisia isn't perfect fyi.
Civil mariage is unbiblical. A western corrupted idea. Created by western, etc. atheists.
The besr solution is civil marriage law while religious laws are more biased towards men!
Meraboy umm that’s not true men and women have equal rights in Islam+ Lebanon is 50% muslim 50% christian
We hate your Western women worshiping laws. Keep these unbiblical immoral laws out of our country!
@@RaffaelloLorenzusSayde why do you hate the laws that protect women from abuse?
Just adopt civil law on marriage instead of having one for every Christians group, one for every Muslim group, one for the Druze, etc...
These women are strong. God bless them. I thought Muslim man don't abuse their women?
Plz my dad is Muslim and he never hit my mom
Divorce in Lebanon.
Please someone from Lebanon help me, I have been spared 8 month with my future husband. He live in Beirut. I really we can be together oneday. I dont divorce before marry....
Come do a documentary about marriage in the United States. In the United States, Civil marriage is imposed on its citizens. There is no right to choose to have your marriage contract governed by morality. Religious ceremony's are just for show and tradition. Civil marriage courts are the only ones that have authority when marriages go defunked. Civil marriage is governed by Hedonism and idolatry of men and what they think is right and wrong, not morality. Often victims of adultery have their wages garnished, loose their children, and loose their property, to the adulterer. Any states that have laws based in morality are ignored and considered archaic. They believe in "no fault Divorce". Where they consider divorce to be no body's fault and it is taboo to bring up any sort of resemblance of a moral breech of contract regarding adultery. Adulatory is a personal freedom. The courts would likely order you to a form of reeducation if you think otherwise. How can one say there is freedom in the United States? You are only free To have the same values as the state on how something as personal as your marriage contract is governed.
+BrownBessOwner That's ridiculous. And I thought 3rd world countries are backward. If this is "Liberty", I wouldn't want it.
Latha Baradwaj Where are you from?
I'm from India.
that is because Deity though could be common to all , meaning same God religion and sect to everyone thus that Deity and the personal beliefs towards it is perceived differently and or looked at it from spiritual point differently from each person even though some things could be common but when it comes to the law of the land it is the rules and regulations that each and everyone is governed by , which means a body of rulers that represent the written law that law that imposes its decision and what sort of conduct people should follow and behave in accordance thus this means elimination of all sorts of varying beliefs from all the people and make them all have one common belief and a common agreement to accept willingly and forcibly to obey and behave in accordance AND now the sacred meaning of the words I wrote : < every culture and or society has a belief in a Deity and religion that sprung from the understanding towards that God and from there a system of thought and conduct was developed in accordance and from there a set of principals to behave in accordance and finally laws to protect those principals thus the literal manifestation of that deity in those principals and laws > . so what deity you chose to believe in y'all ? I hope nor isis nor the Vatican
One year 😂😂😂
One and half 😂😂in Ali Baba grotto &the thieves
In Islam no matter the sect the woman is always on the losing end as her testimony/worth is considered half that of a man....I speak from first hand experience..
I find that so ridiculous.. treating women as half a person.. They say it's because of emotionality that make women less trustworthy than men right?
listen im not a muslim and i know that einstein :D
Definitely true
I'm 25 unmarred and want divorce women
You presented the views of all the women, what about the views of their husbands.
Google is your friend
The same freakin country that supports Hezbollah.
FULLOOKKK nope
FULLOOKKK what does Hezbollah have to do with this?
What does Hezbollah has to do with this you stupid buffon..??
Why only Women are oppressed even men are also oppressed, if you see in Western Countries Women can take divorce anytime from husband and husband has to pay for rest of his life Alimony and Child support, Women can come anytime Women can go anytime, even after marriage even if Husband is waiting for her she doesn't have to come home or she can go out and dance with anyone, the man or husband can not even ask her.
Here in this case yes Women are getting problems but what about men who are suffering, there is not a single documentary about it, it is sad.
Not only Women, men are also equal, if you see in England, US etc men commit suicides because of financial problems they go through because of just loving or marrying a bad Woman.
That's why I say to men - never marry any Woman, "girlfriend is cheaper than Wife or Ex-Wife and Condoms or Contraceptives are cheaper than Child support", never marry and never have any child up until you see and observe her for at least 10-15 yrs.
I interviewed many men in US when I was living there, who literally cried because of the financial mayhem their Ex-Wives or Girlfriends left for them. Men - its not worth to marry or have Children when you yourselves are not safe.
Someone asked me do you suggest the same for your mother and sisters (this is the utmost use of emotional blackmail, but I knew I would get this question), I said, I don't care, because if my Sisters want to follow the rules of marriage they will marry otherwise they would become girlfriends of somebody, why would I stop or force her/them from doing anything.
Its easy for anybody to become popular by supporting a Woman, do somebody become popular by supporting any man?
Gender discrimination is happening with men too, if any couple goes to anybody, husband is at fault by default until he proves mistake of the Woman or Wife? Isn't that gender discrimination?
Yes in the above cases men are at fault, but its not fair to create discrimination based upon some cases, men are also suffering, specially in Western Countries or in metro cities of India or any country for that matter. This Western civilization has given very bad reputation for men, when there are many books to understand the Woman's sexuality there is not a single book to understand mans sexuality, why always men have to understand Women why not the other way round, I never saw anyone giving program to understand the issues of men. I think today feminism would be ready to kill many men because all it needs few male species for reproduction. Even though I consider both of them as Humans, but the mans and woman's sexuality are different, in this World mans sexuality is taken as violent where as Women sexuality is taken divine etc, its not true.
Even though they say and scream Women are equal but when man can't make living or earn food, he is subject to discrimination, there are many men who treat Women nicely (I don't know if they treat equal or not) and provide them everything, if man sits home and woman make living or earn bread - we all know what can we expect from Wife or other people around us.
Men its my suggestion never marry anyone - no matter whatever is the case don't marry and don't have kids until you see her up to 10-15 yrs.
Good comment. They don't actually care about women's rights, they just want to destabilise Lebanon. The US and UK have the highest social problems in the world, thanks to what they have dont to both man and women.
AbdulAleem Mohammad for the woman is not convenient to waste her time and beauty by being someone’s girlfriend for years. Is better to stay free or wife with full rights.
The husband only pays for child support until the youngest turns 18 years old, not for the rest of his life. It sounds like your going to be single forever with the way you’re carrying on in your comment, please seek help.
Women should never have the right to divorce except for the cause of infidelity (proof needed) according to biblical scripture. If divorce for other reasons she should be fined and jailed. If that doesn't work lethal action from the spouse will take place. Btw, I'm Lebanese and know these things well as a religious person living within a religious country. Also, marriage is only allowed if both same religion, if not it's problematic thus religious conversions do occur. This is how my country works so for those who don't like this idea can leave and live elsewhere 👍
All this women worshiping from western feminist America, etc. about the idea of divorcing other than infidelity is forbidden in our country. Keep these western unbiblical propaganda rights (including civil marriages) out of our country!
They should have no problem with infidelity reason 🤣
I hate Divorce
Everyone hates divorce, but it’s inevitable.
The only solution for arabic women is go and married in Tunisia...the only arabic country without all this bullshit
I don't like countries that follow western women worshiping laws! I like Tunisia, except for that part of its rights..
the problem is the woman herself , they are so reluctant to marry decent men . but living in London . and single looking for a divorced Lebanese woman ,religion ,not an issue .

BrownBessOwner yup
It's much better in the USA
In US courts are always on female side. That is why country is sinking right now. Bervcause of liberal branwashing for years and years to de-masculinize the society , to make males be scared of demales and become transgenders . When divorce courts give almost everything to wives. Now they got it even worse. They teach in schools that boys are not boys and they are all females.
