Islam has made the lives of the
people very easier and has given its people to follow a righteous path. From
eating to bathing, from praying to sleeping, from listening to speaking and even
from marriage to divorce, the Quran and Islam has got answers for all of human
beings questions. The last thing I mentioned is the marriage and divorce which
is highly diversified topic. People have got different myths regarding marriages
and divorces. Here I am going to discuss about the most sensitive issue in this
regard which is Halala. People have many misconceptions about this issue. They
do not follow the teachings of Quran and even they misinterpret whatever is
written about halala in Quran. You can see the TV dramas on this issue showing
the process of halala in a totally different perspective. Let’s discuss what
people say about halala. The common thought among people is that when a husband
divorces his wife, he can remarry to her in a way that the wife will marry
someone else, play the role of his wife and then get divorced. Then the first
husband will remarry her. Now let’s discuss what Quran says about halala.
The Holy Qur’an explains: “So if a husband divorces his wife (for a third time),
he cannot, after that remarry her until after she has married another husband
and he has divorced her. In that case, there is no blame on either of them if
they re-unite, provided they can keep the limits ordained by Allah. Such are the
limits ordained by Allah which He makes plain to those who know”. (2:230).
This clearly shows that Allah has allowed remarrying your first wife but within
the limits setting by the Allah Almighty. The planned halala is not jayez. The
Prophet (PBUH) has cursed both such men who perform Halala and for whom Halala
is performed. The second Caliph Hazrat Umar ruled during his reign that he will
punish with stoning to death, those who perform a pre-planned Halala (Jama-e-Trimizi).
Therefore, the issue of someone marrying a man simply for sake of divorce is not
permissible in Islam. That is nothing but corruption. I hope I have made myself
clear and not added anything from my side. I have given the reference from Quran
and Hadees. So, please spread this message and aware people about following the
teachings of Islam without interpreting them according to their ease. The most
logical example can be how a man can ask someone to remarry his wife and then
give divorce to his wife, when she is no more his wife.
