Re: Procedure for Divorce?

A. The procedure prescribed by the Qur’an is following:
a. Appoint mediators from both sides for reproachment.
b. If the mediation fails, the man should pronounce Talaq (once) in clean days of the wife. Talaq should not be given during the days of her period.
c. He should not force her out of the house after the Talaq but care for her, should not tease or harass her and afford her maintenance till the completion of her three normal periods (and in the case of missed periods, for three months and ten days). This is called ‘Iddat’, (waiting period) of Talaq. (The Iddat of a pregnant woman lasts till the baby is delivered).
d. During the waiting period, they should refrain from sex but if they have sex or decide for a reproachment, they can do so and they are again husband and wife. This is called Rujat.
e. If there no “Rujatie reproachment during the waiting period, then the Talaq is enforced. The woman can no longer live with him and the man should see her off in a decent manner with appropriate gifts.
f. A Hadith reported in Abu Dawood insposes the condition of Talaq and Rujat to be made in the presence of (at least two) witnesses.
g. Abud Dawood also reports Hadith which states that there is no Talaq in the state of wrath the fiq’h scholars decree otherwise on the basis of other narrations in the books of Hadith.
