Marital Mediation is an alternative dispute resolution program widely encouraged in many circles. Mediation is process driven whereby the solution comes from the parties concerned with the help of the mediators.
Marital Mediation has been one of the core portfolios of the Capacity Building Group that has been sorely underutilized. In February 2017, a total of seven mediators were trained in UK at the Marital Mediation Academy. Jamaats where mediators are available were advised of the same and encouraged to try and use the mediators in resolving conflicts within marriages.
Online platforms during the COVID 19 period have been a blessing in disguise; the mediators who had no opportunity to reconnect so far, had a vital refresher session on 9th September 2020 facilitated by Br. Inayat Firdousi and Sr. Tahera Shivji. The mediators shared their experiences and best practices were looked into. The online session was undeniable a success, with the mediators looking forward to more of such in the near future.
The Marital Mediation is forever grateful for the efforts of Br. Kassamali Jaffer who was their trainer and is no longer amongst us today. Please remember him with a Surah e Fateha.
