Re: Your favorite biddat
obviously im not qualified to give you the complete lowdown on a subject so complex, where hukm comes from Allah SWT in the Quran and we learn more from the authenticated saying of his Messenger SAW
from what i can gather one talaq is divorced. this enters into iddah period. depending on type of divorce issued (whether straightforward or implied with intent ie talag-e-rajii or talaq-e-bain) you may reconcile with a renewed nikah or by revoking talaq yourself - this depends on type of talaq issued. the straight forward talaq can be revoked by taking it back
from what i can gather once the iddah period is over you are divorced. this apears to be the sinless way to divorce, that is if the couple have tried to genuinely reconcile, ie sought two reconcilers one from each side, and two witnesses for divorce. i would say to those who are merely looking to divorce unjustly to fear Allah
a second talaq is same as first, ie revokable
third talaq is irrevocable, and the couple are islamically divorced with only chance of getting back togather being if the woman marries someone else and is volunatarily divorced once again from a consumated marriage
the three talaqs (in a rush) is sin for which there is no worldly punishment. but Allah is All Knowing and if recompense is owed we will pay
at the same time three talaqs is irrevokable divorce, the vast majority of cases the rola concerning this is that the husband was only doing dramabazi and regrets his actions.
obviously this is a subject which needs a mufti to look at each individual case.
if you have a different take please share your translation of the Quran verses. or even if my perception is wrong feel free to correct
what you are stating here is standard ahulsunnah beliefs
