In Islam, Allah has given every Muslim the right to be married and fulfill their needs and duties. Marriage is one of the beautiful things that Allah has bestowed to every Muslim, we the Muslims need to understand and build up a better relationship. In the Quran, there is clearly a mention of how to live life after marriage. But many of the Muslims didn’t understand this relationship and broke it by taking a divorce. Divorce in Islam is a concept in which couples separate themselves from each other. In Islam, talak is the word used for divorce. It is an Arabic word which means to set free. It is only in unavoidable circumstances when divorce should be taken. It is the final termination of marriage, cancelling all the legal duties and responsibilities of marriage and dissolving all the bonds of matrimony between the parties. Divorce in Islam is considered a very bad act. Allah has ordered the marriage couples not to take divorce until there is a very specific reason and it cannot be solved. If there is a way in which both can live together again, then they should follow that path. In Islam, the act of divorce should be avoided as much as possible.
The method of Divorce in Islam is that the word talak is repeated three times in the presence of two witnesses. Allah has made different steps to take divorce, these steps give the couple a chance to understand and take their decision back. Allah gives these chances to the couple.
Divorce in Islam is given by the husband. A woman is not allowed to give divorce to the husband, according to the teaching of Islamic laws. A wife can take khula from the husband. In Islam, the word talak has different types and the concept of each talak is different from each other. It has its own meanings and procedures.
1. Talak ar-Raji
2. Talak al-Bain
3. Khula
4. Faskh
In Islam, divorce is considered as a big sin, but if the marriage couple is not likely to understand each other, then Islam has allowed couples to take divorce. Once a divorce is given, there are some necessary steps to follow; the woman has to perform the iddat. There are two kinds of iddats which have different names. The iddat of divorce and the iddat after the death of the husband. The iddat of divorce is different from the iddat of husband’s death; the period of iddat in divorce is four months and ten days. It is compulsory for every woman to follow the Islamic laws and complete it according to their procedures.
As Allah says:
And those of you who die and leave wives behind them, they (the wives) shall wait (as regards their marriage) for four months and ten days, then when they have fulfilled their term, there is no sin on you if they (the wives) dispose of themselves in a just and honorable manner (i.e. they can marry). And Allah is Well-Acquainted with what you do (Al-Baqara-234).
