Amman, March 13 (Petra) - The General Iftaa Department (GID) issued 12,370 fatwas (religious edicts) during the first week of Ramadan, according to a statement by its official spokesperson, Dr. Ahmad Harasis.

Harasis added that fatwas for 208 and 575 actual and non-actual divorce cases were made, while 896 others were issued during personal interviews.

Out of the overall number, he said 9,097 fatwas were issued during phone calls, 15 by written questions, 80 came as text messages, 1,102 via the department's website, 307 on Facebook, and 90 as responses in radio shows.

Harasis noted the "highest" number of causes behind divorce and marital disputes during the first week of the holy month tackled failure to understand and fulfill familial and nuptial duties.

Through numbers, Harasis stated statistics monitored during the first week of Ramadan reflect Jordanian society's "commitment to its piety," as religion is the "fundamental component of its culture, customs, and orientations."
