This is a nice article on Talaq in Islam.
While this is interesting one question still remains. Is a person a citizen of a country first or of the religion first? Where is the need for a separate set of rules for nikah, talaq etc apart from what a country's civilian judicial process prescribes?
So if I didn't like to be subject to the rules of a country, I can invent my own religion "timbuktwoism" and have my own set of rules. Religion specific rules are perhaps ok in a country which has only people of that religion. In a secular country where is the need or the bona fides of such religious rules?
Shouldn't religion be confined to our homes? Outside our home we are just citizens of a nation.
