Baha’is disapprove strongly of divorce, but it is not prohibited. If the two partners feel that there are irreconcilable differences between them, they may declare their intentions to seek a divorce, and must go through a ‘year of waiting’ where they live apart, but do not engage in any extra-marital relationships and also attempt reconciliation with the help of the Local Spiritual Assembly. A divorce can only then be pursued once this year of waiting has elapsed.
