(Breitbart) Despite recognition of divorce from the Swedish state, some women are having difficulties getting imams in the country to recognise their divorces under Islamic law and remarry.
One woman, a migrant from Iraq who wanted to divorce her husband ten years ago, claimed that because her husband did not want a dissolution to the marriage, no imam would recognise her as being divorced.
The woman, identified under the pseudonym “Leyla,” told broadcaster SVT that there were many other women in the same situation as her where she lives in the southern region of Skåne, where the multicultural city of Malmö is located.
According to Leyla, her estranged husband left the country and she has no idea where he currently is and so cannot get him to agree to end the marriage.
