According to the Muslim scholars Talaq is a very sensitive matter & it is not valid via email or sms.

According to Islam there should be a minimum gap of three months between all the talaq uttered three times and the grounds also should be reasonable.

Maaz@ you are not telling the truth:

In Islam, only the husband possesses the legal right to divorce his wife or wives and if he utters the Arabic word Talaq thrice, the divorce becomes operative at once, irrespective of time and place. It does not matter whether he pronounces Talaq on the point of rage or in an abnormal condition (like drunk). Divorce becomes operative even if the husband utters the word Talaq thrice over telephone or in dream. Present advancement in technology has made the process still easier. Write the word Talaq thrice on a post-card, send it to your wife and divorce will be operative. Recently, nearly a couple of weeks ago, a Malaysian has divorced his two wives within 3 minutes by sending SMS. Now many Muslims are divorcing their wives through e-mail.

In this regard, Mr M Hidayatullah, a former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of India, writes, *As soon as the husband utters the word Talaq thrice, the divorce becomes operative and the marriage gets dissolved

DANNYM@ Dear friend half knowledge is very dangerous. You are seeing just one side of the coin. Don't count the exceptions. Some Muslims misunderstood & some are misusing the Talaq Issue.

Regarding Talaq you have mentioned that only Husband possesses the legal right, again you are wrong here, Islam grants the wife the right to dissolve the marriage through what is known as Khula'.

Holy Cow!!! This is not legal, you have to wrte the word "Talaq" 3 times!

This will be rejected on technical ground!!

Maz@Could you please provide any statistics on how many occasions the poor muslim married lady have used Khula ? I believe this option is always "closed". Not Khula i.e open!!!. Why is the remarriage process of a "Talaqued" muslim woman so much ugly and perverted? Why she would have to sleep with another man before getting remarried to her previous husband? Do not you think this is barbaric? Have you ever asked this question? Why should a raped muslim woman have to produce four male witnesses to prove that she got raped? Do not you think this indirectly encourages raping? Would these four witnesses/ co-rapists ( most of the cases) would ever give any testimony? If that lady can not produce male witnesses then she would have to face punishment. Do you think that she would ever get justice? Why are Islamic Sariwati laws so impractical, immoral? When would the Muslims learn how to pay respect to the women ( irrespective of any religion) in general and muslim women in particular?

DANNY@ The punishments under Islamic Sharia laws are not barbaric. They can be severe, but fair. For your kind information women have a great status within Islam, Without a doubt women in Islam have a very honorable and respected. I don't know from where you accumulate all the negative points...You can not simply generalise and make wide sweeping statements against Muslims or Islam based upon the actions of a very few people.

Let's stop arguing in religious matters...

Maz@ That is the best option for the believers of the "world's only and true religion"!The lesser their religion is discussed, the better for them . Otherwise common people would come to know lots of things!!!

@ Maaz, is stoning to death or amputing limbs not barbaric then I have to stretch my imagination very hard to think of a barbaric punishment! Then what is barbaric could you please give an example? But I do agree that there are negative things in all religion including Christianity and Hinduism and efforts should be made to reform and cleanse all religions and abolish the barbaric practices wherever they exist. Also there should be apologies made to the human society by the religious heads (and their patrons) of the respective religions who are practicing the barbaric practices.

Shariya law is banned in all advanced countries and liberal democracies which is itself a testimony that it contains barbaric and criminal practices which cannot be accepted by a civilized society. Even death penalty is banned in the entire EU and some other countries which has a lower crime rate than the countries which regularly chop off heads, arms and genitals in the name of punishment.

Mr.dannym, you are a lighthouse of ignorance as brother maaz has correctly pointed out.

Islam disapproves of divorce immensely, and in this connection it has cautioned its followers to be very careful, and has pointed out the steps that the spouses have to take for reconciliation in the event of disagreement between them. It has also laid down the correct procedure of giving divorce if it becomes inevitable to do so. In this connection the basic point to note is that Islam has permitted only the divorce to be given on one occasion, but a very large number of Muslims is unaware of these teachings of lslam and because of the moral and social corruption a number of people put divorce to wrong and improper use by giving three divorces at one and the same time, and feel sorry, afterwards. In view of this situation, an urgent necessity is felt to educate the people about the Islamic teachings concerning divorce and to show to them its correct procedure.

"Live with them (women) in a good manner. If you dislike them, it may be that you dislike a thing and Allah has placed (for you) much good therein." (Surah An-A/isa- 19).

"No Momin (believer) male should hate a Momth female; if one particular trait of her character is disliked by him, (possibly) oilier trait would be liked by him." (Muslim)

"Treat women fairly, because a woman is born form the rib (of Adam,), and the most curved part of the rib is its upper part. If you would try to straighten it, you would break it, and if you would leave it alone, it would remain curved Therefore, give women better treatment." (Bukhari).

Jam Ali@ welcome to this platform againt. Aslam Ali Khum!!! It is good to hear from the dark house of knowledge. From your statement may I be permitted to ask questions or make observations?

1.Your statement "..but a very large number of Muslims is unaware of these teachings of Islam and because of the moral and social corruption..." clearly proves that the followers of the true and only religion of this world are ignorant, morally and socially corrupt, dull headed. I must congratulate you for this candid confession.

2. Could you please suggest us a blue book where the process of issuing talak are described in structured manner?

3. You have mentioned that this bunch of ignorant muslims issue three talaques simultaneously( 3 in 1) and then feel sorry. Fine. in that case if the poor husband repents and wants to remarry his Talaqued wife then why his wife would have to sleep with another man to purify her body and soul? Do you mean this is the proper way to give women better treatment?
