Morning
The essence of detachment is for man to turn his face towards the courts of the Lord, to enter His Presence, behold His Countenance, and stand as witness before Him.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Tablets of Baha’u’llah revealed
after the Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
Evening
QUESTION: Should antipathy develop between a couple after
the Marriage Verses have been read and the dowry paid, may divorce take place
without observance of the year of patience?
ANSWER [by Baha’u’llah]: Divorce may legitimately be sought after the reading of the Marriage Verses and payment of the dowry, but before the consummation of the marriage. In such circumstances there is no need for observance of a year of patience, but recovery of the dowry payment is not permissible.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Questions and Answers’; ‘The Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
