Marriage: Happily Ever After or Just a Joke?

1. If we notice the Malaysian entertainment news, we are often served with artist/celebrities's marries/divorce/remarries news. Just browse through the online news, or forum or peoples' blog. All filled with spicy news, Celebrt A married with Celebrt B, Celebrt C divorced Celebrt D, Celebrt E married 2nd, 3rd or 4th wife etc. All this celebrities generally are muslims. I rarely heard non-Muslim of such case. I remembered only person, Daphne Iking divorced and remarried. The rest, nil.

2. It seems like a joke when people is freely wed their partner, after awhile divorce them. They seems do not care at all, children that they have, respect the in-laws. All they care is LOVE. They seems that no effort to salvage the husband-wife relationship. In many cases, the wife are the most suffered.

3. Yes, in Syariah Law, a person is allow to marry numerous time, wife more than one, divorce anytime. It is as simple as coughing. While in Canon Law (Christian) which applies in Malaysia as Law Reform (Marriage and Divorce Act 1976), non-Muslim is only allow a single marriage. Divorce is not allow in Christian while in Law Reform allows.

4. I always thought the way to prevent the marries-divorce trend, Syariah Law must follow the Canon Law. I cant think of any other way to prevent this thing from happening.
