Many widows and divorcees are suffering.

Answer

The plight of numerous women is truly pitiable. Those relatives on whom it is Waajib to support the women totally abandon their obligation. The Shariah has made it Waajib firstly on the males from the father's side (the Asbaat) to support destitute women. If the Asbaat fail in their obligation, then the duty devolves on the males on the mother's side. But nowadays, people have become like animals. They simply discard those who are their responsibility. If the relatives fail to execute their obligation, then it becomes the incumbent duty of the Muslim community to provide for these females. The entire community is sinful for shirking their obligation thus compelling the person / female work to seek employment in haraam environments.
