As long as there has been marriage, there has been divorce. Divorce cases have dated as far back as the 1600’s. Originally, they were simple matters. Men, generally, received custody of the estate, assets, and children. Women would receive nothing. However, divorce reform came around in the 1970’s to fix this inequality. They introduced alimony payments and custody favoring women. With the changes to divorce law, came more complexity in deciding cases. Cases, such as Dan v.

At a young age A’isha understood how women within her religion were treated. Being born into the Muslim religion they practiced polygyny that raised many of these questions. “Men marry women for two reasons, A’isha. To give them pleasure in bed, and to bear their children. You cannot do either for the Prophet now, not until you begin your blood flow” (Jones, 47). A’isha feels inferior to Mohammed, but she is unable to bear child yet. Women were married

It is believed that men are the least affected by divorce. However this doesn’t mean that they do not suffer at all.
