Talaq-e-Hasan

In News 
  • The Supreme Court of India has stated the practice of divorce in Muslims through 'Talaq-e-Hasan' is not similar to triple talaq and the women also have an option of 'Khula'.
Talaq-e-Hasan 
  • A Muslim man can divorce his wife by uttering Talaq once for three months. This practice is called Talaq-e-Hasan. If couples don't live together, divorce gets formalised after the third utterance in the third month.
  • However, if co-habitation occurs after the first or second utterance, parties are assumed to have reconciled and the first or second utterance becomes null and void.
  • Post the divorce, the wife is not allowed to remarry for a specific time. This period is called Iddat. The objective of iddat is to ensure that the woman is not carrying any offspring in her womb.
  • Husband and wife can not marry each after the third month of abstinence or 'Third Iddat'. With this, a woman has to marry another man and divorce that man. After divorcing her second husband, she can marry her former or first husband.
Triple Talaq 
  • Triple Talaq is known as Talaq-e-Biddat and is the most controversial divorce practice among a few sects of Muslims. In this, talaq is uttered thrice consecutively and the marriage is invalid instantly.
Talaq-e-Ahsan 
  • Talaq-e-Ahsan is another form of divorce by the husband.
  • Here, a husband asks for talaq once, and after 90 days or three menstrual cycles, a woman can marry another man. Although, divorce can be withdrawn if the couple resumes their marital relations within these three months.
