We should follow the legal way  of divorce promulgated in our country. The husband can intimate through  sound means of communication that he has divorced the wife. Please note  that it is commonly believed that one has to pronounce and declare  three divorces at the same time. This is against the teachings of Islam.  The husband should just declare that he is separating and divorcing his  wife. <\/p>\n<div>If the marriage was not consummated after the <em>nikah<\/em> and the both had not entered into sexual relationship then there would be no <em>iddah<\/em> after the divorce.
