Another IZH department in the field of social affairs is family counseling and the associated problem-solving. Various discrete meetings with family counselors, with preferred imams of the IZH, serve this purpose. The principle of the IZH is to prevent even the smallest problems in a marriage in order to avoid larger ones. Therefore, it goes without saying that a divorce is not rushed, but that this process takes at least 3 months.For divorce, please note the following:

A divorce decree by the court does not make an Islamic divorce final.

Please note the deadlines for the final divorce under Islamic law.

4- After the Islamic divorce, it is mandatory for the woman to hold 3 months until the next marriage. This time for a pregnant woman is until birth of the child. Marriage to another man is not permitted while keeping time.

5- According to Islamic law, divorce is not valid during the menstrual cycle and must be carried out outside of this period of time. It is therefore important that the appropriate date for the divorce is entered on the application form.
