Also, different schools vary on the divorce procedure - I mean, none take it away, but some do make it more difficult for the man.  In Shia Islam, for instance, a man cannot issue irrevocable divorce on the spot.  It's only once and then they have to go to mediation, if that doesn't work, one more, and if THAT doesn't work, it's irrevocable.  Our Gulfie friends mitigate the threat of divorce at-will by setting ridiculous standards for dowries - one of my SIL's dowry was 50K and a fully furnished house.

You are correct on the woman thing, though.  Unless it's in the marriage contract that the woman reserves the right to divorce at will, there is no divorce at will for women comparable to that of men.  As Muhammad has allegedly said, "the right to divorce belongs to the one who holds the calf", i.e. the husband.

But women can totally put it in the marriage contract. [/quote]
And even Wahhabis are making it more difficult by making triple divorce impossible in one sitting. Meaning, even if the husband says "divorce" three times, it still counts as one divorce.  Three pronouncements have to be separated by time as long as it is not more than three months.  [/quote]
