London, December 31:

Facebook was cited as a reason for a third of broken marriages last year and is increasingly being used as a source of evidence in divorce cases.
A law firm called Divorce-Online said that 33% of the 5,000 behaviour based divorce petitions filed with the firm in the past year mentioned the site.

“Facebook has become the primary method for communicating with friends for many people,” the Daily Mail quoted Mark Keenan, managing director of Divorce-Online, as saying.

“People contact ex-partners and the messages start as innocent, but lead to trouble

“If someone wants to have an affair or flirt with the opposite sex then it’s the easiest place to do it,” he said.

The most common reasons for Facebook causing problems in relationships were a spouse finding flirty messages, photos of their partner at a party they did not know about or with someone they should not have been with.

“If you are keeping things from your partner, Facebook makes it so much easier for them to find out,” Anne-Marie Hutchinson, of Dawson Cornwell Solicitors said.

Hutchinson said that the site could also be used as evidence of unreasonable behaviour.

“If you are complaining that they have a drinking problem and they have posted statuses about going out on the razzle... that could be used,” she added.

A friend of mine recently got divorced after just a couple of months of getting married. How did the whole thing fall apart? How it all started? Facebook. One stupid status message was all it took, his wife was on his 'friends' list along-with all of his non mehram friends, office colleagues et al, his non mehram friends knew his wife and vice versa, no, he didn't say talaaq to his wife through his fb status window, he just made one sarcastic reply on the idea of marriage which his friend had posted and as they say, the rest is history.

Anyways, that friend of mine is much older to me, he was my former neighbor. Facebook was only a platform, the problem really was purdah, yes, what was the need to introduce his wife to his friends and vice versa? In the book 'removing the safety net' maulana shaykh yunus patel ra says that even the net is one's companion:

his exact words?

There is darkness and restlessness in such company.

We therefore need to also guide our children in regards
to their choice of friends.

Moreover, company is not only ‘physical’. Novels,
magazines, films, the internet and so forth, offer
companionship as well. -pg 78 of the above book
