Raji, Barakat Adebisi2021-04-152021-04-152015Al-Hikmah University Law Journal. 1(1); 330–338.http://uilspace.unilorin.edu.ng:8081//xmlui/handle/123456789/4713The divorce rate is becoming more alarming among the Muslim couples in Nigeria despite legal framework for family dispute resolution mechanism provided by the existing laws. This therefore, calls for a re-examination of the method use for resolving disputes arising from the relationships between Muslim couples. It is a known fact that dispute has become part of human activities in life but this can be positively managed and controlled through the use of right mechanism. Dispute among the Muslim couples can be managed and controlled using mediation process as practiced during the time of Prophet (saw) and his companions, however, the involvement of mediators as mentioned in the Holy Qur'an for maintaining peace among the couples is worthy of precise role clarification.enDivorceDisputeResolutionMediationArticle
