          @EnkiSpeaking Fines are paid in instalments/via payment plans. Generally no time limits on when they have to be paid. @BBCBreaking

          @hstanley_ @BBCBreaking You suggest they pay it after they get out. It is OK with me. I think 5 yrs is enough & they'll need new spouse.

          @BBCBreaking U have to see the other side of the coin. This will cut down marriage rate. Mostly females get permission to avoid proximity.

          @BBCBreaking It cuts down all chances of reconciliation. Another thing is that u give huge amount of money to women when they divorce.
