Bahá'u'lláh has laid great emphasis on the sanctity of marriage, and the believers should exert their utmost to create harmony in their homes and a situation which at least is not bad for their children. But if, after prayer and self-sacrificing effort, this proves quite impossible, then they may resort to divorce.
- Shoghi Effendi (From a letter written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to an individual believer, dated 10 November 1943; The Compilation of Compilations, vol. I, Preserving Baha’i Marriages)
