Questions & Answers about وکیل دادخواست طلاق توافقی را به قاضی داد.
How is the legal term dâdxâst (petition) formed?
It is a compound of dâd (an older Persian word for justice or equity, which you also see in dâdgâh for court) and xâst (request, from the verb xâstan). Literally, it means a "request for justice."
The adjective tavâfoqi (consensual) is used here. How would we express this underlying idea using the dual noun tarafeyn (both parties) covered in this lesson?
tavâfoqi is formed from tavâfoq (agreement) plus the adjective suffix -i. A consensual divorce implies the agreement of both spouses. To explicitly state this using the lesson's Arabic dual grammar, you would say tavâfoq-e tarafeyn (the agreement of the two parties).
Why does the object marker râ appear so late in the sentence, right after tavâfoqi?
râ marks the definite direct object, but it must attach to the very end of the entire noun phrase, not just the head noun. The complete object here is dâdxâst-e talâq-e tavâfoqi (the petition for consensual divorce), so râ waits until the final adjective to appear.
Could the indirect object (be qâzi) be placed before the direct object phrase?
Yes, Farsi word order allows flexibility, so starting the predicate with vakil be qâzi dâdxâst-e... is grammatically correct. However, because the direct object phrase is long and heavy with modifiers, placing it before the shorter indirect object gives the sentence a more balanced rhythm.
