Law/Patents - Law (general) / Divorce proceedings | | German term or phrase: verstoßen | Nach Art.1129, 1134 des iranischen Zivilgesetzbuches wird die Angtragstellerin ihren Ehemann in Anwesenheit von zwei ehrenwerten Zeugen männlichen Geschlechts verstoßen.
This is from a document in German divorce proceedings, however the parties must proceed according to Iranian law. Should it be translated as "apply for a divorce" or is there another term?

This is the "alleged" Sharia form of divorce in which the husband says the "talaq" three times, and that is enough. In certain forms of Sharia this is permitted, but not in all, see:

I think so, but I'm no specialist in Sharia law. You'd have to see Iranian law on this, but it's what the text says. |

| Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks for the quick response - but would that apply in this case to the wife disowning the husband? My understanding was that it only works (if it does) one way.
