Explanation

Talaq means divorce in Islamic law. It is the dissolution of marriage initiated by the husband, though there are strict rules and procedures.

Islam permits divorce but considers it the most disliked of permissible things. There is a waiting period called iddah to allow for reconciliation.

Proper Islamic divorce protects the rights of both husband and wife and ensures fair treatment.
