TRIPLE TALAQ:-

Talaq is a right given to men by islam to divorce his wife in case if the marriage cant be continued for some reason. It is similar to Khula, a right given to muslim women to seperate from her husband if she feels they cant live together hereafter( mind you the reasons have to be valid in both the case or they are sure be questioned here if not definitely on the day of judgement).

There is one significant different between both the methods. In women’s case Islam give her extra freedom and authority i.e A woman can divorce her husband(khula) with immediate effect.

But in case of the talaq, once given, the husband has to wait for three months.

This is when you have to know about the triple talaq. The triple talaq doesnt mean saying or messaging ‘talaq’ three times and ending marriage. Rather it means the person has to wait for a period of three months. Within the stipulated time if there is change in mind or the concerned problem is resolved mutually, they sure can continue the marriage.

“Divorced women remain in waiting for three periods, and it is not lawful for them to conceal what Allah has created in their wombs if they believe in Allah and the Last Day. And their husbands have more right to take them back in this [period] if they want reconciliation. And due to the wives is similar to what is expected of them, according to what is reasonable. But the men have a degree over them [in responsibility and authority]. And Allah is Exalted in Might and Wise” The Quran 2:228

For the second time (which is not bound to happen immediately) if they face an arduous problem, talaq can be pronounced again with the same procedure.

“Divorce is twice. Then, either keep [her] in an acceptable manner or release [her] with good treatment… The Quran 2:229

In the mean time it the responsibilty of the family members to try to reconcile them. The muslim clerics (The Jama’th) can also be approached.

The third time will be the final chance given to a muslim. Things become totaly tough for the husband.

It has to be noted that several months or years passes between each talaqs ( If Allah’s laws are obeyed).

“And if he has divorced her [for the third time], then she is not lawful to him afterward until [after] she marries a husband other than him. And if the latter husband divorces her [or dies], there is no blame upon the woman and her former husband for returning to each other if they think that they can keep [within] the limits of Allah. These are the limits of Allah, which He makes clear to a people who know” The Quran 2:230

After the third talaq the marriage has really come to an end now. The three chances are exhausted by now. Even then the husband wishes to reunite it is not possible unless the wife who have entered another marriage ( if this happens) divorces her husband which is highly impossible.

This is TALAQ, Islams way of dealing with divorces.

There is a serious confusion nowadays (especially in India ) among the both muslim and non-muslim people regarding talaq. It can never be said thrice at one go.
