The document discusses factors contributing to the rising number of divorces in Malaysia. It notes internal factors between couples like lack of understanding, failing to communicate effectively, and not being committed to solving problems together long-term. For Muslim couples, it suggests the high divorce rate is because the objectives of marriage according to Islamic law are not being fulfilled. Statistics show the divorce rate doubled from 0.13% in 2000 to 0.22% in 2011, and various reasons for divorces have made the rising number seemingly unpreventable.

INTERNAL FACTORS

Problems in communication between couples e.g. they lack understanding each others differences,
allowing problems to accumulate making it difficult to solve the problems effectively and efficiently, not being able to solve
problems from either side with concrete information i.e. from a reliable source and failing to realize their commitment in
the marriage i.e. sticking together through good and bad.

Allah has stated the objectives of marriage in Islam and so if couples get divorced and if it is difficult to
prevent the rise of divorces in Malaysia, it is simply because the will of Allah is not being fulfilled in the
