Guidelines to Restrict Divorce in Islam
Islam has ordained restrictions and rulings that make it difficult for the man to issue a divorce, and reduce the incidence of divorce. It has not given the man the power to issue a divorce whenever he wishes. These restrictions include: 1. The basic principle regarding divorce is that it is not allowed, either by way of prohibition or by way of it being disliked. 2. Allah has given the power of divorce to the husband, not to the wife. 3. It is not permissible for a man to divorce his wife when she is menstruating. 4. The wife is not to be made to leave her house after divorce takes place. 5. Islam has set the number of divorces that the husband can issue as three.14,752He divorced his wife then married her again after another husband had divorced her; does he go back to having three talaaqs?
4,521He did the marriage contract with a woman and saw her naked on camera, then they got divorced. What must he do?
5,323He said to his daughter: I’m going to divorce your mother
This is like saying: If my wife does not agree to travel, then I will divorce her. This does not count as a divorce, or as a conditional divorce depending on something that may happen in the future. If a person merely states that he will divorce his wife in the future, or promises or threatens to do that, that does not count as a divorce, according to scholarly consensus, because the divorce must be issued verbally, and it is not sufficient merely to promise or threaten to divorce her in the future. Similarly, the intention alone is not sufficient; rather it is essential to utter the words by means of which divorce takes place, and not merely state that one is going to divorce her.4,633He found out that his wife had got married before and was divorced before consummation of the marriage, but she had spent time alone with her ex-husband
5,558He said to his wife: Consider yourself divorced after your period ends
3,666He did the marriage contract with a woman then divorced her before consummating the marriage
2,515Is an oath of conditional divorce swearing by something other than Allah?
4,260He divorced her once each month, and he thought that he would be able to take her back within one month after the third talaaq
10,802She made her husband very angry and asked him to divorce her, so he divorced her
