When does divorce between Druze take effect – when the husband declares so before witnesses, or when a Druze court registers it and makes a decision concerning it ?
By: דיאנה שאלתיאל•Published on: 07 June, 2022When a Druze husband makes an oral declaration divorcing his wife, in accordance with the requirements of Druze religious law and in the presence of two witnesses, the divorce goes into effect immediately. The confirmation and registration of the divorce at the Druze religious court and its decision about the associated property settlement are post-divorce actions.
