According to this, "Zihar is that a man says to his wife, You are to me like the back of my mother meaning You are prohibited to me, which means that I have got nothing to do with you."
Interesting. There, now we all know what "zihar" is.

ReplyDeleteahmed it was a way of keeping women in a state of limbo way back when. He wouldn't outright divorce her leaving her to remarry and get on with life. But wouldn't keep a real marriage with her.. who sleeps w/ their mom?
