THE DIVORCE PROCEDURE Muslims in general get confused at the hands of Mullahs, the so-called Ulama.

The obvious reason is their abandonment of the Book of Allah. Here is the clear, Ultimate Quranic Guidance. THERE IS NO DIVORCE UNDER DURESS The Quran gives some very important and clear Laws for divorce. 2:228 (The couple may reconcile even during Iddah = Waiting period before the wifes remarriage), 4:6 (Both must be able to understand their finances before marriage), 4:19 (No such thing as Khula! Women have the right to divorce as well. Both must be able to grant free consent), 4:35 (Marriage is a very solemn, legal contract. Two wise arbiters must try to reconcile between the husband and wife for three months), 58:1-3 (Foolish utterances do not count), 65:1-4 (Never expel divorced women from THEIR homes. Their must be two witnesses in writing for divorce). NO ROOM FOR INSTANT DIVORCE: According to the Quran, there is absolutely no room for an instant divorce. The process must take months with involvement of arbiters in order to allow reconciliation between the husband and wife. THE QURAN DISREGARDED: It is highly unfortunate and shameful that Muslim jurists have been ignoring and practically revoking these clear verses of the Book of Allah for centuries, in favor of their own conjecture. According to their exploitative and erroneous edicts, if a husband utters the word "Divorce" three times in anger or under any kind of duress or even in a stage drama or movie, divorce takes effect instantly. What a mockery of the Quran! They are then decrared unlawful for each other and anyone eating or drinking in their homes commits Haraam! THE SOMERSAULT: It is interesting to note that the so called Fuqaha (Jurist Mullahs) who otherwise uphold Hadith in preference to the Word of Allah, conveniently disregard even their 'treasure' whenever it suits their whims or purpose. In this instance, there is a Hadith in Ibn Majah. The exalted Prophet is reported to have said, La talaqa fil Ighlaq = There is absolutely no divorce under any kind of duress, coercion, suddenness, anger etc. This Hadith which is in total harmony with the Quran remains obscure to or hidden by the Ulama. HOMES BELONG TO WOMEN: 65:1 O Prophet! When you men intend to divorce women, make sure that the waiting period is observed. Keep precise account of this interim period. Be mindful of Allah, your Lord. Never expel them from THEIR homes, nor shall they themselves leave their homes unless they commit open immorality. ----. TWO WITNESSES FOR DIVORCE, 65:2 And so, when they have reached their waiting term, either retain them in kindness or part with them in kindness. And let there be two just persons among you to witness, and establish the evidence straight for Allah. -----. ARBITERS: Three months of attempts to effect reconciliation by arbiters is one of the pre-requisites for divorce. 4:35 (Families and communities must adopt a proactive approach regarding a husband and a wife in discord). If you fear a breach between a husband and wife, appoint two arbiters, one from his

family and one from her family. If they decide to reconcile, Allah will help them get together. Verily, Allah is Knower, Aware. THE ENTIRE DIVORCE PROCEDURE ALLOWED TWICE IN A LIFETIME: 2:229 In a given couple's lifetime, a divorce is permissible twice. (The whole period of divorce i.e. three menstruations / three months, or until delivery can be taken back twice). ------. HALAALAH OR HARAAMAH? Here comes the most shameful deed unique to the Mullahs in the whole world. They maintain that for reconciliation, the senselessly divorced woman has to go through Halaalah (planned marriage with another man for one night followed by divorce in the morning. And it must involve sexual intercourse!). Mullahs offer their own "Noble Services" for being the bridegroom for one night and even charge a hefty fee for it! "Authorized" Halaalah offices abound in many so-called Muslim countries! 2:230 If a man divorces his wife on a third different time during their marital life, it shall be unlawful for him to remarry her. It may so happen that the woman marries another man, and those two do not get along, and the other husband divorces her. In that case, there is nothing wrong if both (the previous couple) decide to come together again, if they consider that they will be able to observe the Limits set by Allah. These Limits have been made clear for people to make use of the Divine gift of knowledge (and make no crookedness in the Straight Path). *There is no room in the Quran for the so-called Halalah, a shameful, manmade custom where a divorced woman is made to spend an intimate night with another man under wedlock with a preplanned divorce in the morning! I call it Haramah+

THERE IS NO ROOM FOR KHULA: The word Khula' does not appear in the Quran. It is an Imamist fabrication meaning that a woman seeking divorce has to go to a court of law begging for it, a process that takes up to 30 years in the "Muslim" societies). But Allah has given women the right to divorce. 4:19 O You who have chosen to be graced with belief! It is not lawful for you to force women into marrying or holding on to them in marriage against their will. ------. You wrote: I just wanted to know where did this Haramah/Halalah first took place or do 'Imam' derive this from Ahadith Conjecture ? Somebody defined Halalah as mentioned in the 2nd point so I tried to know more : "2. Halalah is when a girl has got divorced by the husband, according to correct procedure and then she happened to marry another man (no planning) and then if she gets divorced by this second husband (no planning) and wants to marry the first husband, then it is called Halalah. " But I was thinking that in this case, what is the need of calling it Halalah, why not call it Nikah only? ...................................................................................................................................................... 2. It is indeed called Nikah, not Halalah.

The 2. was called 'Halalah' by an "Imam" of Fiqh, al-Shafi'i, an invention. To my knowledge the term is not based on Hadith. The closest Hadith must be a fabrication since the exalted prophet would not go against the Qur'an or use such cheap words: "A man who offers himself to consume a marriage for a night or a few nights is like a rented ox used to inseminate cows." For every hadith that supports the Quranic divorce procedure you can find one that contradicts it. One scholar accepts hadith which another scholar rejects, so we have the situation described in the Quran:-

31:6 But among people, there are those who invest their time in Hadith which is unfounded, so as to lead those without knowledge away from the Path of God, making mockery of it (the Quran). For such there is shameful punishment in store. Do you know what the Quran says about divorce? If you do, then you do not need to waste your money on any fairy tale hadith book. If you do not, then look up all the verses of the Quran on divorce and you will find that it is a lengthy affair, with no chance of one undertaken under duress. If a scholar wants to reject the Quranic procedure, then reject his opinion and the scholar.

(33:49) 2 - Three menstrual periods in women with normal physiology. (2:228) 3 - Three months for those who do not habitually menstruate (or have irregular cycles 65:4). 4 - Four months ten days for a widow (for resolution of grief 2:234). 2:228 After divorce, women shall wait three menstruations before remarriage. There is no waiting period for a woman who is divorced before intimate relations with her husband (33:49). And it is three months if they do not habitually menstruate (65:4). They shall not conceal pregnancy if they believe in Allah and in the Hereafter. In case of pregnancy, their waiting period shall be until delivery (65:4). And during this period their husbands would do better to take them back if both of them desire reconciliation. The husband and the wife have the right to reconcile during this waiting period of the wife. Women, by Ordinance, have rights similar to men. Men, however, do not have a waiting period for remarriage for obvious physiological reasons. That is where men are on a platform different from them. (2:228-234, 4:3, 4:19, 4:35, 4:128, 33:49, 58:1, 65:1-4). The Waiting Period is four months ten days for widows. (2:234) Those among you who die and leave wives behind, they shall wait four months and ten days before they remarry. ---.

WOMEN NOT TO BE HOME-BOUND DURING WAITING PERIOD: The Quran places only one restriction, remarriage. But under the "Imamist" influence a divorced Muslim woman or widow is expected to live a life of complete asceticism and deprivation during the Waiting Period. She is told not to leave her home, see any visitors, participate in any ceremonies, socialize in any form, dress decently, wear new clothes, comb well, use perfumes or use even light make-up, etc. CONCEALING AHADITH

Our Mullahs are adept at concealing any Ahadith that could make life easy for their victims. For example: 1. The exalted Messenger reportedly said, "Nasharah (the pretense of expelling demons) is nothing but Satan's handiwork." But the Mullahs make money by beating up and torturing patients with mental illness, after diagnosing demon-possession. 2. La ghoul. (There is no such thing as ghoul, demon, witch, evil eye and creatures of superstition.) 3. La Talaqa fil Ighlaq. (There is no divorce under duress, pressure, or suddenness.) Halaalah or Haramah: Here comes the most shameful deed unique to the Mullahs in the whole world. They maintain that for reconciliation, the senselessly divorced woman has to go through Halaalah (planned marriage with another man for one night followed by divorce in the morning. And it must involve sexual intercourse!). Mullahs offer their own "Noble Services" for being the bridegroom for one night and even charge a hefty fee for it! "Authorized" Halaalah offices abound in many so-called Muslim countries! 4. The Hadith lovers even discard their beloved Bukhari here, Sahaba Kiraam asked the Prophet, "People bring us meat and we do not know if Allah's name has been mentioned on it." The Prophet replied, "Say BISMILLAH and eat it." Why do they conceal this Hadith? So that they may support the Halaal meat industry, exercise religious power over people as to what is Halaal and what is Haraam, and get paid for Islamic way of slaughtering. 5. Land belongs to him who cultivates it. But the Islamic clergy strongly supports feudalism where the rich landlords thrive on the toil of poor farmers. And much more. PLEASE REMOVE SAYING TALAQ, TALAQ, TALAQ AS A MEANS TO DIVORCE FROM YOUR HEAD. When you have done this then everything will make sense ;the Quran does not sanction it, so anything else is ancestor and false tradition worship. (Firstly, does the 'talaqnama' have to be certified by anyone? I came across a document on the internet whereby someone in Pakistan wrote the talaqnama himself, the 2 witnessess heard him state the '3 talaqs' and witnessed him sign the self-composed talaqnama which he proceeded to post to his wife in the UK. Would you say this talaqnama is valid?) A marriage certificate has to be posted in a marriage/registry/court office to be valid. I cannot only say I marry you, I marry you, I marry you to be legally married to someone, regardless of the number of witnesses I have [although with a name like Arzu, meaning desire in Turkish....] Hence, for a divorce to be valid it must be upon a piece of paper signed by the man if he is divorcing her, and by the woman if she is divorcing him. If it is signed in Pakistan and then put into the court there, the divorce is valid [ but the woman MUST make sure her rights have not been violated and the man has undertaken the divorce with all the Quranic requirements].

(The operative words above and below are 'senseless', 'vain' and 'intentional'. When a husband calmly and intentionally states 'talaq' 3 times to his wife (no duress etc), how can he not be held accountable? Allah has not stated exceptions to the rule, at least I am not aware of any! As you state, 2:225, Allah holds you responsible for your intentional doings.) He is not accountable for words he later wants to recant. The following verses get him out of jail for uttering words which he later retracts, please read carefully:5:89 God will not call you to account for vain utterances of your oaths. He will hold you accountable for your deliberate and intentional oaths. If you violate such oaths, that would be a transgression against your self. If you do violate an oath, the expiation for that is: Feeding ten needy persons of what is standard for your own family, or clothing them - Or, freeing one human being from bondage, whether it is slavery, extreme poverty, heavy debt, or oppression. If you do not have the means to do so, then observe Abstinence for three days, as in Ramadhan. This is the expiation of your (breaking of) intentional oaths. But be mindful of your oaths. God explains His messages, so that you might have cause to be grateful. [Abstinence, 2:183] Even if you meant to divorce your wife/husband and said so with a clear head, then until you sign the divorce papers you can CANCEL the divorce and remain married. If you go through with a divorce, you can re-marry the former husband or are free to marry someone else:2:232 And when you have divorced women, and they are approaching their waiting period, people in the society shall not place difficulties if they wish to remarry their husbands in a decent manner (not secretly). And do not place difficulties if the woman decides to marry a different husband upon mutual agreement. This instruction is for all among you who believe in God and the Last Day. Following the Commands helps you develop your selves and stay clear of vice. God knows, you know not. *Fabalghna ajalahunna = The divorced women are about to complete their term of waiting period - according to the context and Tasreef] (Now Brother Jawaid, you have really lost me!!! The rule in 2:230 is very clear and states "If a man divorces his wife irrevocably, it will be unlawful for him to remarry her." How can a woman marry her former husband until she has married another man? (NOT on a temporary basis - refered to as Halalah/Haramah!) She must marry with the intention of living with him as husband and wife permanently. If the marriage breaks down, then, as I understand, she can remarry her first/former husband. Then in that case there is no blame on either of them to re-unite provided they think that they can observe the limits set by God.) If a man divorces a woman he can re-marry her up to twice more before it becomes irrevocable [marriage, divorce, marriage, divorce, marriage, divorce, then NO re marriage]:2:229 (The whole period of divorce i.e. three menstruations, three months, or until delivery can be taken back twice.) In a given couple's lifetime, a divorce is permissible twice. Then the divorced woman must be retained in honour or released in kindness. She shall be allowed to live in the same home amicably, or leave it amicably. At or after divorce, it is not lawful for you to take back anything of what

you have ever given to her. However, if both of you fear that you might (in waves of emotion) transgress the bounds set by God, there shall be no blame on either of you for what the wife willingly gives back, whatever she chooses. These are the limits set by God; transgress them not. Whoever transgresses the bounds set by God, such are the wrongdoers.

Before I do so, if a husband intentionally or in a fit of temper utters three talaqs then the sharia of the Mullahs states that the woman must marry and sleep with another man before she can re-marry her former loud mouthed, small brained husband. HE made the mistake or intended a divorce but SHE has to be prostituted out to another man before she returns to her lord and master. If Allah only holds us to account for our own actions, how can this be just to the woman?

MEN MUST TAKE CARE OF WOMEN

Surah 4 verses 34-35 4:34 Men are the protectors and maintainers of women. They shall take full care of women with what they spend of their wealth. God has made men to excel in some areas and women to excel in some areas. Men must see to it that women are provided for, and that they are able to stand on their feet in the society. So, righteous women are obedient to Gods Ordinances and guard their moral values even in privacy, the values that God Commands to be guarded. If you, the society, experiences rebellion from women against the Permanent Values, and they stand up against you, apprise them of possible consequences. Next, the husbands will leave them apart in their resting places. If they pay heed to you, seek not a way against them. God is Most High, Great. [Qawwam = Protector = Maintainer. Nushooz = To stand up 2:259, 58:11, to stand up against, to rebel against the society, to rebel against the Permanent Values. Waaz = To apprise of consequences 2:231, 3:66. Dharb = Example 13:17, 16:74, 36:13. Dharb = To stop 18:11, 43:5. = To embark upon a journey = Strike the road (begin to travel) 4:101. = To give examples 4:34, 13:17, 16:74, 36:13, 43:58. = To abstain from something 43:5. = To stop or prevent

IF THEY CANNOT RECONCILE THEN ARBITRATORS ARE APPOINTED FROM FAMILY OR THE WIDER SOCIETY [MARRIAGE GUIDANCE]

4:35 (Families and communities must adopt a proactive approach regarding a husband and a wife in discord.) If you fear a breach between the two of them (husband and wife), appoint two arbiters, one

from his family and one from her family. If they decide to reconcile, God will help them get together. Surely, God is Knower, Aware. [2:228-234, 4:3, 4:19, 4:35, 4:128, 33:49, 58:1 65:1-4]

THERE IS A COOLING OFF PERIOD OF FOUR MONTHS WHILE THE ARBITRATORS ARE WORKING AT A JUST RESOLUTION

2:226 Men who take an oath that they will not approach their wives shall have four months of Grace. And if they go back on their oath during these four months, behold, God is Forgiving, Merciful. [They must rethink their decision during this Grace period and circumstances might change. Similar rules apply for women, since they have equal rights and obligations, and since no man is permitted to forcibly keep his wife in wedlock against her will as stated later in the Book. 2:228, 4:19, 4:21, 4:34, 7:189] 2:227 If they decide upon divorce let them remember that God is Hearer, Knower. [They must bear in mind that since marriage is a Solemn Covenant 4:21, divorce can take place only in accordance with this Book of Law]

ONCE THE DIVORCE IS FINALISED, WOMAN WAIT THREE MONTHS TO SEE IF SHE IS PREGNANT BEFORE SHE CAN MARRY AGAIN

2:228 After divorce, women shall wait three menstruations before remarriage. There is no waiting period for a woman who is divorced before intimate relations with her husband (33:49). And it is three months if they do not habitually menstruate (65:4). They shall not conceal pregnancy if they believe in God and in the Hereafter. In case of pregnancy, their waiting period shall be until delivery (65:4.). And during this period their husbands would do better to take them back if both of them desire reconciliation. The husband and the wife have the right to reconcile during this waiting period of the wife. Women, in all equity, have rights similar to men. But men have one advantage over them. [Men do not have a waiting period for remarriage for obvious physiological reasons. And this is where men have an advantage over women. 2:228-234, 4:3, 4:19, 4:35, 4:128, 33:49, 58:1, 65:1-4]

IF A COUPLE DIVORCE AND THEN RECONCILE WITH EACH OTHER, THEY CAN RE-MARRY.

2:229 (The whole period of divorce i.e. three menstruations, three months, or until delivery can be taken back twice.) In a given couple's lifetime, a divorce is permissible twice. Then the divorced woman must be retained in honour or released in kindness. She shall be allowed to live in the same home amicably, or leave it amicably. At or after divorce, it is not lawful for you to take back anything of what you have ever given to her. However, if both of you fear that you might (in waves of emotion) transgress the bounds set by God, there shall be no blame on either of you for what the wife willingly gives back, whatever she chooses. These are the limits set by God; transgress them not. Whoever transgresses the bounds set by God, such are the wrongdoers.

THIS CAN BE DONE UP TO A TOTAL OF THREE MARRIAGES BUT ON A THIRD DIVORCE TO THE SAME PERSON, NO MORE MARRIAGES ARE ALLOWED UNLESS AND UNTIL SHE GENUINLEY MARRIES ANOTHER MAN AND THEN DIVORCES HIM [NO HARAAMA, NO ONE NIGHT STANDS, NO MUTA]

2:230 If a man divorces his wife on a third different time during their marital life, it shall be unlawful for him to remarry her. It may so happen that the woman marries another man, and those two do not get along, and he divorces her. In that case, there is nothing wrong if both (the previous couple) decide to come together again, if they consider that they will be able to observe the limits set by God. These limits have been made clear for people who use their knowledge. *There is no room in the Quran for the so-called Halalah, a shameful, manmade custom where a divorced woman is made to spend an intimate night with another man under wedlock with a preplanned divorce in the morning! It should better be called Haraamah+ 2:231 When you have divorced women, and they have completed their waiting period, then retain them in kindness or release them in kindness. You shall allow them to live in the same home amicably, or let them leave amicably. Do not force them to stay against their will, as revenge. Anyone who does this wrongs his own self. Do not make the revelations of God a laughing stock. Remember Gods blessings upon you and the Book and wisdom He has sent down to you in order to enlighten you. Be mindful of Gods Commands and know that God is Knower of all things. 2:232 And when you have divorced women, and they are approaching their waiting period, people in the society shall not place difficulties if they wish to remarry their husbands in a decent manner (not secretly). And do not place difficulties if the woman decides to marry a different husband upon mutual agreement. This instruction is for all among you who believe in God and the Last Day. Following the Commands helps you develop your selves and stay clear of vice. God knows, you know not. [Fabalghna ajalahunna = The divorced women are about to complete their term of waiting period according to the context and Tasreef] 2:233 If the (divorced) mothers wish to nurse their infants, the father shall provide for the mothers sustenance and clothing equitably up to two years of nursing. No human being shall be burdened with

more than he or she is well able to bear. No mother shall be made to suffer because of her child, nor shall a father be made to suffer because of his child. If the father dies, his heir will assume these responsibilities. If both parents decide with mutual consent, there shall be nothing wrong in entrusting your children to foster-mothers. There shall be nothing wrong if you ensure, in a fair manner, the safety of the child you are handing over. Be mindful of Gods Laws and know that God is Seer of all that you do. 2:234 Those among you who die and leave wives behind, they shall wait four months and ten days before they remarry. Once they fulfil their interim, the society commits nothing wrong by letting them make their own decisions about their future including remarriage. And God is Aware of what you do. 2:235 You do nothing wrong in announcing your engagement to (widowed or divorced) women or keeping it to yourselves. God knows that the community will think about them. But, never make a secret pledge or contract with them. Speak with them honourably and in recognized words. Do not tie the wedding knot nor sign the marital contract until the waiting period has ended. Know that God understands human psyche, and what is in your hearts. Take heed of Him and know that God is Forgiving, Clement.

THERE IS DIVORCE WITHOUT CONSUMATION [CONTRARY TO THE FORGED HADITH]

2:236 And, there is no blame on you if you nullify the marriage before you have intimately touched the women with whom you have signed the marital contract, and before you have appointed the marital gift. This would be an unexpected situation involving emotional trauma. Therefore, show compassion by giving her as generous a gift as you can afford. This would be an act of equity and it is a binding duty on all those who wish to be counted among the benefactors of humanity. 2:237. And if unexpected circumstances lead you to divorce women before you have intimately touched them, but after the marital gift has been fixed, give them half the amount unless they volunteer to forgo it. If the move for divorce originates purely from you, let her have the whole portion. If you men forgo it, it is closer to righteousness. O People! Never forget kindness among yourselves. This Command is from God Whose Law of Requital ever monitors your actions and the motives behind them. 2:238 (While describing some important marital Laws), it is reiterated that, your Central Duty remains the guarding of the System in which individuals and families can develop their potentials to the maximum. Stay alert in obedience to God. 2:239 Whether fear threatens you from without, or you are strolling, riding, relaxing in peace, remember God as He has taught you (the Right and Wrong) that you did not know. [3:3,3:190-191, 4:103] 2:240 Men must testify in a written, legal will that, after their death, their widows will receive one years maintenance without their being obliged to leave the house. But, if they leave on their own accord,

there is nothing wrong in letting them do whatever they wish to do with their own lives in a lawful manner. And God is Almighty, the Wise (and He grants this permission). 2:241 The widowed and divorced women must be provided for in kindness and equity. This is a duty for those who wish to live upright. [65:6-7] 2:242 Thus, God makes His revelations clear for you. Now, it is up to you to use your intellect. Surah 4 verses 19-21 4:19 O you who have chosen to be graced with belief! It is not lawful for you to force women into marrying or holding on to them in marriage against their will. Pressuring women to remain in wedlock by threatening to take away the marital gift is forbidden. A wife could forfeit the right to the marital gift only if she has indulged in clear lewdness. You shall treat your wives nicely. Even if you dislike them, it may happen that God has placed much good in what you have failed to realize. 4:20 If you wish to marry another wife in place of your present wife, and you have given her a great deal, you shall not take back anything. Would you take it back by way of slander, a transgression that will drag down your self? 4:21 And how could you take the marital gift back from her after you have lived intimately with each other and after she has taken from you a very Solemn Pledge of the marital contract?

NO DIVORCE BY USING ANY WORDS

Surah 58 verses 1-5 58:1 God has indeed heard her who pleads with you (O Prophet) concerning her husband, and complains unto God. And God has heard your mutual dialogue. Certainly, God is Hearer, Seer. 58:2 Those of you who divorce their wives by calling them mothers, they, by no means, become their mothers. Their mothers are only those who gave birth to them. And so, behold, they only utter what is contrary to reason, and thus, false. And behold, God is Absolver of faults, Forgiving. [The procedure of divorce has been clearly given in 2:228-230, 4:3, 4:19, 4:35, 4:128, 33:4, 65:1-2. Zihr = Extra = Redundant = Sundry = Putting away = Senseless word or action. Zihaar = Addressing the wife as mother and thinking that it nullifies the wedlock. Implicitly this encompasses similar meaningless utterances under any circumstances]

THE USE OF senseless declarations IN THE FOLLOWING MEANS DIVORCE IS NOT VALID BY JUST SAYING SO

58:3 Hence, those of you who have made senseless declarations about their wives, estranged them, and then wish to go back on their utterance - they should free a human being from bondage before the couple may have intimate relations with each other. This you are admonished to perform. And God is aware of all you do. [Freeing from bondage includes relieving someone from any kind of oppression and from a crushing burden of debt] 58:4 However, he who does not have the means thereof, let him observe Saum (Abstinence as in the month of Ramadhan 2:183) for two consecutive months before the couple may intimately touch each other. And if he is unable to do that either, he should arrange the feeding of sixty needy ones. This is so that you might be true to your faith in God and His Messenger. These are the bounds ordained by God. And for the deniers of the Divine Commands is a painful doom. 58:5 Surely, those who oppose God and His Messenger will be disgraced as were disgraced those before their times. Thus, We have sent down clear messages, and for the rejecters is a shameful suffering.

Surah 65 verses 1-10 65:1 O Prophet! When you men intend to divorce women, make sure that the waiting period is observed. Keep precise account of this interim. Be mindful of God, your Lord. Never expel them from THEIR homes, nor shall they themselves leave their homes unless they commit open immorality. These are, then, the limits imposed by God. And whoever crosses God's limits, certainly, hurts ones own self. You do not know that God may bring about thereafter a new situation (help create reconciliation). [Note that homes belong to women. The waiting period before a divorced woman or a widow can remarry, has been explained before and reiterated now. (65:4, 2:228, 2:234). There is no waiting period for women with whom husbands have had no intimate relations. 33:49] 65:2 And so when they have reached their waiting term, either retain them in kindness or part with them in kindness. And let there be two just persons among you to witness, and establish the evidence straight for God. This exhortation is for him who believes in God and the Last Day. And anyone who is mindful of God, He will grant a way out for him (from difficult situations). 65:3 And will provide for him in a manner he has not expected. And whoever places his trust in God, He will suffice him. Indeed, God always brings His Command to pass. Indeed, for all things God has appointed a due proportion. 65:4 And such of your women as no longer expect menstruation, as well as those women who do not habitually menstruate (for any reason), to resolve your doubts, their waiting period is ordained to be three months. For those who are pregnant, the waiting period ends when they deliver their burden. Anyone who is mindful of God, He will make his condition easy for him.

[Note the word Hamlahunna = Their burden = What they carry, - instead of their baby or child. Hence, the term includes abortion, conditions such as moles, and all kinds of abnormal pregnancies and outcomes]

ANYONE FOLLOWING SHARIA OR THE RABBIS OF ISLAM ARE GOING AGAINST THE TEACHINGDS OF ALLAH

65:5 That is the Commandment of God that He reveals unto you. Anyone who is mindful of God, He will absolve his faults and increase his reward. 65:6 Let them (the divorced women) live where you live with the same standard of living that you have, and according to your best means. Harass them not to make life difficult for them. And if they are pregnant, spend on them freely until they deliver their burden. Then, if they nurse your baby, give them their due recompense. And frequently consult together amicably. And if both of you find it difficult, let another woman suckle the baby on his behalf. [The husband will pay for the services of a foster mother] 65:7 Let the affluent man give according to his affluence, and the poor man give according to what God has given him. God does not burden any human being with more than what He has given him. God will soon bestow relief after hardship. 65:8 And how many a community has rebelled against the Command of its Lord and His messengers! Hence, We called each to account with a stern accounting and punished it with an exemplary punishment. 65:9 And thus it tasted the calamitous end of its own doing. For, the consequence of their deeds was an utter loss. 65:10 God has readied for them awful suffering (in the Hereafter as well). So always be mindful of God, O People of understanding who have chosen to be graced with belief! For, indeed, God has sent down to you a (Glorious) Reminder. 65:11 (Reminder through) A Messenger who conveys to you clear messages of God so that he might lead those who have chosen to be graced with belief, and set things right, from the depths of darkness into the Light. And whoever believes in God and works for the good of others, He will admit such persons into Gardens beneath which rivers flow, therein to abide forever. Indeed, God has readied for them a most excellent provision. [5:15-16, 7:157, 76:4] 65:12 God is He who has created seven cosmic systems, and like them, of the lows. Through all of them descends His Command that you may know that God has power over all things. And that God encompasses all things in His knowledge. *Saba = Seven = Several. Every high has its low, hence every heaven or sky has its earth+

The steps leading to a divorce can be summarised as follows:1. During periods when married couples are in disagreement or anger, a four month waiting or cooling off period is prescribed. If the couple decide to remain as husband and wife they can do so and if they want to divorce then this is finalised after this time. 2. When marital relations break down then family, friends and those in authority seek a way to reconcile them or proceed to a permanent dissolution of the marriage (divorce). 3. After divorce, the woman must remain unmarried for three menstrual cycles in order to make sure she is not pregnant, since the father of the child has to maintain both her and the child for up to a two year period. 4. If after the divorce they decide to remarry they can do so and this is allowed following a total of two divorces. After a third divorce the couple cannot re-marry. It is a bit more complicated than this but you can now see the Quranic principles that we must apply in order for a divorce to occur.
