The complete answer to this question is:

Yes both the parties can dissolve the marriage contract.
there are many ways to dissolve it:

1. By divorce given by husband (can be through a court decree)

2. khula

3. mubarat

3. ila

4. Zihar

5. Talaq by tafweez ( also called Delagation of power to divorce)

6. By Dissolution of Muslim Marriages Act (DMMA), and it further contains 10 sub-clauses.

(and i really can't remember the 7th point )

The question was tricky (albiet it was an easy question), but the answer is all about marriage and divorce chapters in the book, Muhammaden Law by D.F.Mullah.

This year this paper was a bit unexpected, compared to last 5 or 6 years of papers...like they have asked about Inheritance and presented a case about it, and it is really not in the course of BA Muslim LAw, it can be a question for LLB Law paper...

anyway, hope for the best !

[QUOTE]Well, generally the subject is considered as a high scoring subject. But at times the subject has been very low scoring. There can be number of reasons for this. Most of the students don't pay proper attention to this subject and hence when the examiner ask's some technical questions they get very low scores or even flunk. But we have to go by general trend and that is if one has prepared the subject well then scores over 60 can easily be expected.

I am afraid that one can only attempt papers other than islamiyat and languages in English Language.

I am sorry if i have caused some trouble. but ma'am this is what the rules say. You can only go for Muslim Law and Jurisprudence or for that matter any optional subject apart from Languages in English. And as far as high class english is concerned. I don't think that it is much to worry about. The more one writes in a simplified manner the better the results .

Best Wishes!
