Zeenat Fatema Rashid vs Md. Iqbal Anwar on 5 May, 1993
23. A Division Bench of Gauhati High Court in the decision reported in Zeenat Fatema Rashid v. Md.

Motiar Rahaman vs Sabina Khatun And Anr. on 26 November, 1993
25. It follows from the above decisions that under the Quran the marriage status is to be maintained as far as possible, and there should be conciliation before divorce, and, therefore, the Quran discourages divorce, and it permits only after pre-divorce conference. I am also in agreement with the principles laid down in the above decisions and take the view that the divorce must be preceded among Muslims by an attempt of reconciliation between the husband and wife by two mediators - one chosen by the wife from her family and the other by the husband from his side. In the above view of the matter a Mohammedan husband cannot divorce his wife at his whim or caprice i.e., divorce must be for a reasonable cause and it must be preceded by a pre-divorce conference to arrive at a settlement. Even if there is any reasonable cause for the divorce, yet there must be evidence to show that there was an attempt for a settlement prior to the divorce and when there was no such attempt prior to divorce to arrive at a settlement by mediators, then there cannot be a valid divorce under Mohammedan Law.
Ma Mi vs Kallander Ammal on 1 November, 1926
11. Even admitting that the respondent/wife was not informed about the pronouncement of "Talaq" by registered post which was returned, it was brought to the notice of the respondent/wife about the pronouncement of "Talaq" by her husband when he filed the petition for cancellation of maintenance in Crl.M.P. No. 2922/1995 on 20.7.1995. The respondent/wife has also filed a counter-statement to the said petition for cancellation in Crl.M.P. No. 2922 of 1995. Therefore it may be held that the respondent/wife was informed about the pronouncement of "Talaq" on 30.11.1992 though at a later point of time by filing an application for cancellation of maintenance. This view gains support from the decision reported in Ma Mi v. Kallander Ammal, AIR 1927 Privy Council 15, M.M. Abdul Khader v. Azeeza Bee, AIR 1944 Mad.
