Islamic divorce, known as Talaq, is a process through which a Muslim man can legally end his marriage. The husband must pronounce the word "Talaq" three times, either in one sitting or over a period of time, allowing for a waiting period called Iddah. This waiting period helps ensure that any potential pregnancy is identified and provides time for reconciliation. For women, divorce can be initiated through Khula, where a woman requests a divorce, often in exchange for returning her dowry. Both processes emphasize fairness and the well-being of all parties involved, reflecting the importance of family and community in Islamic teachings.
