Overview

DEAL BREAKERS IN MARRIAGE: WHEN LOVE MEETS NON-NEGOTIABLES. Jurisprudential Analysis in Islam is a practical book for Muslims in the West. Deal Breakers in Marriage turns Sharīʿah principles into usable tools for real life in the UK, Europe, and North America. Inside you'll find: Pre-marital due-diligence kit: a red-flag audit, values worksheet, and a step-by-step guide to discussing deal breakers before nikāḥ. Contract workshop: 25+ ready examples of shurūṭ you can adapt (housing, education, finances, relocation, polygyny, counselling), with model wording, what's valid/void, and how to record changes grounded in arkān, mawāniʿ, and cross-madhhab notes. Decision trees for reconcile vs separate, mapping routes to ṣulḥ, imām-led arbitration, and if harm persists lawful dissolution (ṭalāq, khulʿ, faskh). Case studies from diaspora life: digital deception and secret marriages, immigration exploitation, addiction, financial neglect (nafaqah), coercing a spouse into sin, and abandoning prayer, what counts as a deal breaker and what evidence to keep. Health & intimacy guidance: a clear summary of ʿuyūb (defects), juristic differences, and practical pathways to assessment and annulment without breaching modesty. Faith & suitability: navigating al-kafāʾah fī al-dīn, spiritual incompatibility, and contemporary fatwās (including Mālikī nuances). Civil-law crosswalk: registration, safeguarding, documenting harm, protective orders, and how to align community mediation with local law. Custody made clear: stages from infancy to sin al-tamyīz and maturity, conditions for custody, and child-centred remedies. Designed for couples, parents, imāms, chaplains, and counsellors, this book offers checklists, templates, one-page summaries, and conversation scripts, so you can protect dignity, uphold mercy, and act decisively when the line is truly crossed.
