🚪 Divorce, ʿiddah & rujuk · #116

I want to claim mut'ah. What should I prepare as evidence?

Prepare evidence of the length of the marriage, your contributions, the circumstances of the divorce and your ex-husband's means. The marriage certificate and divorce documents show how long you were married. List your sacrifices during the marriage, for example giving up work to care for the children or helping in the family business. If the divorce was not caused by any fault of yours, write down the sequence of events honestly and briefly. Information about your ex-husband's job, salary and property helps the court assess a fair amount. Arrange all documents by date and make copies. A syarie lawyer or the advisory counter at the Syariah Court can check that it is complete. Use the court checklist.
