Although giving divorce to woman is permissible and there is a Quranic Verse permitting divorce, but divorcing the woman is the last resort, only in cases which can't be corrected otherwise. Therefore Hzt. Nabi Kareem Sal'am said that in the eyes of Allah divorce is the most undesirable thing which is permitted (Halal). It is narrated by Abu Dawood and Ibne Maja and Hakim reported it and Abu Hatim has approved the chain of the tradition. (Noorul Hadaya)
Conditions for Divorce (Talaq)
(1) The woman should be in the bond of marriage.
(2) The man should be wise and matured but if man is not in his senses or by force or in joke or without intention, unwisely or in drunken condition gives divorce it is effective. (Ghayatul Autar)
(1) Talaq-e-Rajai (Revocable Divorce)
(2) Talaq-e-Bayan (Distinct Divorce)
(3) Talaq-e-Mughalluz (Severe Divorce)
(1) Talaq Rajai (Revocable Divorce) is a divorce given once or twice and then return to her within the probationary period (Iddat) because in this kind of divorce the husband is allowed to renew relations without remarriage. Thus the Holy scriptures says:-
(S2-A228) i.e. The husbands of these women (without remarriage) have the right to
return to
their wives in the (probationary) period (Iddat) provided there intention is to return for
the better.
Allah Says:-
(S2-A229) "This divorce is the second time either keep her nicely by or leave
her in a pleasant
manner."
Allah further says:-
(S2-A231) "And when you divorce (Rajai) to women and they reach the end of the
probationary
period (Iddat) then either you return to them as per rule and allow them to remain in
marriage or
relieve them in accordance with law."
(2) Talaq bayan (Distinct divorce) is the one which is given three times during probationary period or the period of Rajai Talaq passed away converting it to Bayan or the husband who gives divorce says that he has given Talaq-e-Bayan to her or says that it is severe divorce. In Talaq Bayan (Distinct divorce) if relation is to be renewed then remarriage is essential. Without it husband cannot return to his wife.
The Holy Quran says:-
(S2-A232) "And when you divorce to wives and they complete their probationary period
(Iddat),
do not prevent them from marrying their (former) husband back if they agree to do so
willingly."
(3) Talaq Mughalluza (Severe divorce) i.e. one who pronounce (Distinct divorce) Bayan Tallaq thrice. In this case the husband can't marry her unless she becomes Halal (acceptable) i.e. she should marry to another person and when the new husband gives her divorce after copulation.
Therefore Allah says:-
(S2-A230) "If a husband divorce his wife
(irrevocably)be cannot lawfully return to her until
she is married to another person and divorced by him then there is no harm for them
to
remarry and live together provided they know that they keep intact the limits ordained by
Allah.
