“When you divorce a woman and they fulfill the term of their iddat, either take them back on equitable terms or set them free on equitable terms, but do not take them back to injure them or to take undue advantage, if anyone does that he wrongs his own soul.” Muslim Law is purely based on the concept of saving marriage rather than breaking it and even utterance of the word talaq is considered as sinful in the Muslim community. If parties to the marriage are unhappy then marriage can be dissolved by talaq. The unilateral power of one partner (husbands) under Islamic law for the dissolution of marriage makes talaq different from the divorce, where both partners have the right to dissolve a marriage. Holy Quran and sharia laws have clear provisions regarding talaq where three talaqs to be spaced over a period of three months, to give husband and wife a chance to reconcile with the intervention of relatives and family members. Moreover, it can be pronounced only when the wife is in the state of tuhr (purity).
