During the same 10-year period, a total of 915 cases involved the appointment of an arbitrator (hakam) in the divorce proceedings. Less than one percent of such cases required a second set of arbitrators.

The SYC does not track divorce data by the classifications cited. We consider every divorce case on its own grounds and merit and the legal process is the same.
