The series "Newton's Game" renewed the controversy over verbal divorce in Egypt. Tweeters considered that the drama stems from a crisis caused by the lack of clarity and understanding of divorce legislation in Egyptian society.

Tweeters said that the most controversial drama during the month of Ramadan may force religious bodies in Egypt to reconsider the issue of verbal divorce and not take place unless it is documented.
The Egyptian media, in turn, considered that the series exploded a societal controversial issue, which was denied by those in charge of the work, stressing that the drama is purely human, and that what is happening in terms of provoking the verbal divorce controversy is just a plot.
By asking a Al-Azhar scholar during a telephone conversation on one of the talk shows, he confirmed that divorce takes place as soon as it is pronounced, and this coincided with notes by the Sheikh of Al-Azhar in which he demanded adherence to heritage and read history, stressing that it was never an obstacle to progress.
The nation's heritage was not an obstacle for it to progress and brilliance, and the adoption of causes of strength, pride and immunity, and the purified Sunnah was not a stumbling block in the way of building a cohesive society whose members enjoy the goodness of this world and the hereafter.

The drama of the series "Newton's Game" revolves around an attempt by an Egyptian woman "here" to prove her ability to succeed without the help of her husband or her family in trying to put her newborn in America to become an American.
The state of controversy that the Egyptian society witnessed after the presentation of each episode of the series "Newton's Game" was unprecedented during the past years, especially since the series deals with smooth and repeated social issues in human and marital relations.
I haven't thought for a long time that it was a dramatic work that created a real and clear societal discussion, like what # Newton's game worked with the problem of verbal divorce.

Some of the interactions with episodes of the series are a social issue, and not just a drama that entertain viewers.
Through his official account, the writer Khaled Montaser (classified as an open-minded liberal who has many opinions of a secular political character) addressed a group of tweets about feminist and social issues that deal with the events of the series, demanding that the state not pay attention to religious bodies that refuse to issue laws that prevent the occurrence of verbal divorce. A reference to the Al-Azhar Al-Sharif Foundation.
What was your intention while writing the WhatsApp message, launching it and not returning it !!!!
Sheikh Al-Jami’s answer to a firm question in Newton’s game. The
question is the Egyptian wife, where is her role in this verbal divorce maze ??! Is it a broomstick or a Kleenex tissue ??!

Like no movie, I want a solution other than the House of Obedience Law. I hope that the Newton game series changes the verbal divorce law ... and the state is convinced that it does not take the opinion of a religious body and does not turn away from its refusal and standing against a law that has the interest of hundreds of thousands of Egyptian families. The documentation of divorce must be a basic condition like documentation marriage

While some expected that the series would cause a change in the personal status laws related to the occurrence of verbal divorce, demanding that the divorce be officially documented and not paying attention to this type of divorce.
The series is sweet, which allows us to discuss important and sensitive issues, and in our lives
verbal divorce, which I still do not want to erase the
rhetoric of the verbal passport, but the divorce is still
not known why even though what they announce that verbal divorce does not take place and it is not necessary for men to be annulled, she says once that you are divorced because I know that it is not necessary # Newton's game

It is most likely that Mona Zaki will be the cause of new legislation governing verbal divorce categorically ...!
When drama plays its true role in society ...
Thank you Tamer Mohsen @ Tamermo7sen 👏
Thank you # Game_Newton

The talk about the need to review personal status laws related to verbal divorce and unseen return is not a conversation, as the beginning of its presentation on the scene was when the Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi addressed it in the presence of the Sheikh of Al-Azhar, the honorable Imam, Dr. They themselves before making the decision to divorce to allow the spouses to change their positions to preserve the stability of the family. He concluded his speech by directing the conversation to the Sheikh of Al-Azhar, saying, "You tired me, honorable Imam," in reference to Al-Azhar's refusal to implement that proposal.
Similar to the series and its message, the problem of verbal divorce was raised in the Newton series, and the topic is not a coincidence because the President of the Republic has spoken about it for four years and the Council of Senior Scholars responded unanimously Acknowledgment of the occurrence of verbal divorce and the right of the guardian to take what he sees to document it》 pic.twitter.com/ LbnT0gYmvZ
