brother fusoos saheb I told you in the UK this is a very growing trend and bro the situation of divorcees is real bad. I personally know around at least 5-7 divorcees amongst my close relatives who are not married. You see if one looks at the earliest generations the divorce rate was very high even amongst the sahabah. The difference was that the divorcees in those days easily got married again usually in polygamous marriages. I know that the first 2 khalifahs sayidinah Abu bakr and Saydidinah Umar divorced at least 1 of their wives. We are facing a huge social problem and what I'm saying is due to our lack of care for divorcees many people are abusing the situation.

Umar you actually have a very good question here. Many of the ladies in polygamous marriages declare that they are single and then when the kuffar government officials see lots of kids running around outside wedlock it makes a complete mockery of the spirit of our sharia. You see Umar this is a complex issue and major problems have occured and are occuring. If our leaders are not willing to tackle such issues then what can be done?
