Abstract

Objectives: This study aims to analyze the judicial mechanisms for verifying marital discord and to clarify the distinction between judicial verification and legal proof. It further explains the judiciary’s role in confirming the existence of discord and the safeguards that protect the wife’s rights during the proceedings.

Methods: The study adopts an analytical method through the examination of jurisprudential and legal texts in Jordan’s Personal Status Law related to discord and conflict. It also employs a descriptive method to outline the existing legislative framework in Jordan, along with a comparative method that analyzes definitions and concepts in Islamic jurisprudence compared with Jordanian legal texts.

Results: The study concludes that judicial verification relies on personal evidence, testimony (including hearsay), and circumstantial indicators. It grants the judge discretion to assess and be convinced by the evidence, giving the judge an active role in the investigation. The judge may also order additional procedures to uncover the truth.

Conclusion: Article (126) of the Jordanian Personal Status Law (2019) addresses lawsuits of discord and conflict. If the claim is filed by the wife, the judge must verify the existence of harm that justifies separation—whether through formal proof or any means that lead to the judge’s conviction. By contrast, if the husband files the claim, he is required to prove the existence of harm.
