Abstract
This paper deals with the hermeneutical reading of divorce (ṭalāq), one of the sensitive issues in Islamic family law. It is concluded that the existence of Islamic law of divorce is not to denigrate women; however, it is to give response to the injustice suffered by women by giving regulations that are more friendly for women. The regulations of the Quran on the subject of divorce are designed to restrict the practice which had prevailed among the Arabs that they are free to divorce their wife at any time without any reason, and remarry her in unlimited ways. This indicates that Islam stipulates that divorce can occur two times: first, it may occur with goodness (and reasonable terms), and second without any goodness and reasonable term. If divorce occurs, a divorced woman should have the prescribed time (‘iddah) and financial consideration (mut‘at al-Ṭalāq).
