This article has not been amended since the law was issued.

إذا لم يثبت وقوع الضرر الذي يتعذر معه بقاء العشرة بالمعروف، واستمر الشقاق بين الزوجين، وتعذر الإصلاح؛ فيتعين على كل واحد من الزوجين اختيار حكم من أهله خلال الأجل الذي تحدده المحكمة، وإلَّا عينت المحكمة حكمين من أهليهما إن تيسر، وإلا فمن غير أهليهما ممن تُرجى منه القدرة على الإصلاح، ويحدد لهما مدة تحكيم لا تزيد على (ستين) يوماً من تاريخ تعيينهما.
