فَإِن طَلَّقَهَا فَلَاتَحِلُّ لَهُۥ مِنۢ بَعْدُ حَتَّىٰ تَنكِحَ زَوْجًا غَيْرَهُۥ فَإِن طَلَّقَهَا فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِمَآ أَن يَتَرَاجَعَآ إِن ظَنَّآ أَن يُقِيمَا حُدُودَ ٱللَّهِ وَتِلْكَ حُدُودُ ٱللَّهِ يُبَيِّنُهَا لِقَوْمٍيَعْلَمُونَ 230
Islam is a natural
religion and has complete Code in practice for the entire life of human beings.
It shows the way of acquiring betterment and welfare for the life in this world
and after death. Islam is masterly over the entire sections of human life.
There is no such problem of life; solution of which; it doesn’t explain and
there is no direction, commands about which it doesn’t issue.
Collective life of the
mankind begins from a family. If the family life is successful and the
relationship among husband and wife are in well condition then it is evident
that every individual will find himself in a very good environment. He may be
able to do his work with good manner. The children will find superior model
role for themselves and they will follow their elders on the straight path at
the time of their maturity. So, Islam makes better the family life of a Muslim.
The husband and the wife have central position in the dynasty. If there are
good relations and mutual cooperation between them, then every child of that
family will go forth upon the way of improvement; step by step easily. But if
the relationship between husband and wife is in worse condition and they are
disunited due to their thoughts and deeds, then it is much difficult for them
to move forward collectively, and their misunderstanding will prove fatal also
for their children.
Islam is also apprised
this side of human nature and determines the divorce lawful in case of
pressure. If any person wishes to divorce, then he should do so after deep
meditation. If the woman feels lamentation due to her husband’s behavior, then
she may also be gotten released. But the Divine Law of the Religion has imposed
some orders and restrictions to realize the importance of married relationships
of man and woman, for instance if the husband has devised firm resolution of
divorce and doesn’t reconcile during the period of ‘iddat (term)
after the second divorce, moreover he divorces her wife third time, then he
can’t re-marry with her after it. If he wants to re-wed then its condition is
very harsh. That is to say; any other person would have to wed the divorced
woman, perform the act of copulation with her and then either divorce her with
his will or he dies, and then thereafter; she would have to complete her ‘iddat period.
This remarriage is called literally Halaalah. But after
this Halaalah, the re-marriage can only be performed in such
form when both of them stand firm according to the orders of Allah Almighty,
because they both have to think about paying the rights of each other, and have
to believe in it. Otherwise, the situation of the destruction of each other’s
rights and their mutual quarrels will come again. And they both will fall in
sin.
Holy Messenger (grace,
glory, blessings and peace be upon him) has cursed those men in one Hadith out
of his Sayings, who make it (divorce) their profession, because a man weds a
divorced woman for the purpose that he will divorce her again, so that, her
first husband may re-marry this above-mentioned woman.
Alas! The Muslims
didn’t recognize the rights of these questions and made the religion droll.
Which restrictions were imposed by the Divine Law of the Religion on divorce,
didn’t care for them. As and when we wanted, we divorced without thinking. When
the anger subsided, we gained our wits, began to lament and we chose unlawful
forms of Halaalah. All this badness grew due to carelessness from
the religion, ignorance, foolishness and not respecting the matters.
