Islamic Solutions to the Effects of Matrimonial Conflict on Children Upbringing

Abstract

Legalisation of marriage has been viewed as a major approach through which mutual dealings, coexistence, cooperation and continuity of human race are solidified. The marriage contract is a social engagement which mutually connects man and woman to become a couple. It permits them to share things such as living together, exchange loving pleasantries, having sexual intercourse legally, domestic affairs, child upbringing and a lot more in common. In a real sense, in order to have cooperative and responsive minds among the spouses, it becomes necessary that they create a serene family environment where every member will enjoy natural freedom and rights even the children. In other words, realisation of an itch free family setup is a collective responsibility of husband and wife where each party‘s inputs must be felt.i Ordinarily, the husband and wife are products of different backgrounds and orientations, the fact that is capable of influencing their perceptions on issues, hence such cannot only give birth to grudges between them but greater consequences on family and the society. As a syndrome of unhealthy relationship, matrimonial conflict usually results in circle of violence, harm, divorce, trauma and child abuse.
