Question<\/h3>\n

I understand that in Mr Ghamidi’s view divorce should be given on three different occasions instead of three times on one occasion. Correct me if I am misinterpreting Mr Ghamidi. My question is that nowadays husbands divorce their wives three times at a time i-e on one occasion. What is the legal status of this divorce in context of shari’ah and Pakistani laws? Is this divorce valid? <\/p>\n

Answer<\/h3>\n

According to our understanding the Shari’ah has given the husband the right to divorce the wife in three instances. It means that when a husband divorces his wife he can revoke that within the iddah<\/em>. In some time in future he again can divorce her and revoke the divorce during the iddah<\/em>. When in future he divorces her a third time he will not have the right to revoke the divorce. This is also acknowledged by the earlier scholars. They call it the talaq<\/em> according to the Sunnah.<\/p>\n

Now if someone violates this ruling and divorces his wife two, three or more times in a single instance his case will be brought before the court. The court can either decide that he has used all three instances of right to divorce or only one.
