[quote=Muslima][quote=Anonymous]Above is for men.  Women do not have the right of divorce automatically, although they can write it into the marriage contract.  Obviously, however, writing it in raises eyebrows so socially may be difficult to pull off.

Other than that, a woman can petition the Islamic court for a divorce for cause.  Depending on the country, this could be extremely hard to obtain, even with more dire reasons like the husband is imprisoned or is a drug addict.  Taking a second wife would not be cause for divorce as Muslim men are permitted more than one wife. [/quote]

False again! Both men and women have the right to get a divorce for any reason and yes you can get a divorce if your husband gets a 2nd wife,  you can get a divorce if you hate his guts , you can get a divorce just because you don't like him,  really you can get a divorce for almost anything. The only difference between a husband and wife is 
1., A husband has the right to divorce his wife at any time by just saying I divorce you and having the intention to divorce her.
2. A wife needs to ask for her husband to divorce her, ie she can't just say I divorce you and sever the marriage. She had to ask him and he has to agree to divorce her. If he doesn't agree, she can go to any imam and ask for a divorce, at which point the imam will grant a divorce whether the husband wants it or not.  [/quote]
