Divorce for three times

“Talaq al-sunnah” is the divorce that adheres to Islamic principles, emphasizing reconciliation before final separation. In contrast, “talaq al-bid’ah” is deemed irregular and disapproved, often inflicted impulsively. “Talaq al-mubarat” denotes mutual consent, aiming to depart amiably from the marital union.

2. The Legal Framework of Three Divorces

Within the Shia legal framework, the enactment of three divorces signifies a profound substantive alteration in marital status. Before delving into the implications, one must understand the requisite conditions for initiating a divorce. The wife must be in a state of purity (that is, not during menstruation) when the husband pronounces the first talaq. Failure to adhere to this leads to invalidation under Shia law.
