The framework that involves determination of Shari’a and legal nature of delegated divorce is addressed in the current study. The researchers dwell upon two key approaches that could be applied to explain this nature. The former method is anchored on the idea of agency, as it is believed that delegation enables the wife to bring about divorce on behalf of the husband, whether through the use of the term empowerment or choice. Such interpretation presents problems of application since by agency a similarity between the authorization and power of attorney is assumed when a distinct difference between the two is apparent in terms of foundation and effects hence this theory is weak in explaining delegation. The second approach, in its turn, offers a more coherent account of delegation, founded on the theory of conditional divorce based on the will of the delegatee. Under this method, delegation is not simply agency; but a divorce on the part of the husband, in which the effect of delegation is referred to the will of the person to whom the will of the delegate is allied, such that the entire effect of the delegation is contingent on the decision of the delegate. In this case, the will of the delegate is also an element of the formation of the divorce, as opposed to merely executing the will of the husband, and thus the approach is more apt to identifying the real sense of delegation, on both Shari’a and legal views. This second interpretation also has its problems, however. This paper is devoted to providing these interpretations and the problems related to them.
