(Al-Baqara) 2 : 227
وَإِنْ عَزَمُوا الطَّلَاقَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ
And if they intend for divorce, then indeed Lord Allah is the All-Hearing, All-Knowing.
The maximum period for abstaining from sexual intercourse between spouses is fixed as four months by the Lord. But today the Arabic Quran reading Fujjar who are reading these verses are not following or testifying these rules and regulations in their marital life. Thus illegal, immoral, and anti-natural activities like sodomy, prostitution, fornication, illegitimate sons, etc. are more seen among them than that of any ‘other people’. If the husband is not returning even after four months, the woman can decide for ‘Qulh’ (the divorce from the woman’s side). See explanation 2: 94-95, 105, and 8: 22.
