Divorce According to Quran

Getting married is duty of all Muslim men and women. Marriage is a civil contract between two parties, man and woman who live together as husband and wife, in Islam. This automatically refers to the responsibilities and rights of the two parties involved in the contract. The Quran and Prophet Muhammad (SAW) order us that the two parties, husband and wife should act kindly with each other. If a situation arises, it should be dealt according to the teachings of Islam. It is a fact of life that two persons living together have disagreements. Few things should be kept in mind if a serious situation arises between husband and wife, and disagreement can not be solved.

In case of disagreement husband and wife should try to resolve the situation themselves. In case resolution is impossible by them then their relatives should try to resolve situation for them and settle their differences. If the attempt of relatives also fails then they should seek divorce. In case of divorce husband and wife separate from each other for time of three months. They can reunite in that time but after the time has passed they are divorced effectively and Nikah is terminated.

It is clear that Islam and Quran only permits divorce when it is impossible for the two parties to live together peacefully and all attempts to resolve their differences fail. Islam assumes that muslims act responsibly when exercising their right of divorce. According to Quran and Hadith of Muhammad (SAW) divorce is the most unliked act permitted by Islam. This also stresses the fact that Islam and Quran addresses all aspects of life and guides. The sixty fifth Surah of Quran, Surah Talaaq(Divorce) addresses all the aspects of divorce
