What is divorce in Islam?
Divorce in Islam, also known as "Talaq," is a legal procedure allowing the dissolution of a marriage contract between a Muslim man and woman. It is permitted to both parties, but men have the exclusive right to initiate the declaration of divorce. According to Islamic law, divorce is a last resort and should only be pursued when all attempts to reconcile the marriage have been exhausted. The process involves several steps, including pronouncing the word "Talaq" three times, following a mandatory waiting period known as "Iddah." If the couple reconciles during this period, the divorce becomes null and void. Divorce in Islam is seen as an undesirable act but is permitted as an option in situations where a marriage cannot be saved.
