First, I think in the case of domestic violence she needs to leave the home. Find relatives or friends to help her with her temporary living situation. She must report domestic violence to the police to help in the future for the record in a civil divorce and protection.

Secondly, talaq can be done by the woman under certain circumstances. I believe domestic violence is one of those reasons in Shariah. I have heard of it being done with the aid of scholars.

The best thing to do is to go to a scholar and ask the procedures for the woman pronouncing talaq for the reason of domestic violence.

And a civil divorce must also be in the works if they are married civilly. I dont know the laws where you are.

In short, for an Islamic divorce, take her to a scholar who knows the shariah on women's rights and conditions to pronounce talaq.

[Hisham Abu]

She needs to speak with an Imaam to initiate Kulah. Since she is women she cannot divorce, but she can initiate Kulah. Providing she has good reason to.

If you are in doubt where to turn to, then I would recommend either of the two following masjids. They are the biggest in London; East London Mosque (http://www.eastlondonmosque.org.uk/) & London Central Mosque (http://www.iccuk.org/index.php?article=1&PHPSESSID=b6cu6tv4ar3h8h5suc47lj9qd2)

I pray that you find what you are searching for.

Women can't give divorce, they can ask for it.

[THE PATH 2]

THE cause and solution to the domestic violence should be addressed first

domestic violence can be resolved by willing and responsible people

marriage is a great challenge and struggle

try to resolve the problems first..separation is also considered for a cooling period and to see how both parties manage without one and other

divorce is last resort only

regret eats away at people

if children are involved..the divorce may seem like a solution but the children will suffer for years ..and be affected detrimentally

the man needs sorting out no doubt...why does he do it?
