Procedure of Muslim divorce
PRASHANT KUMAR SHUKLA | 01/01/1970

here are two categories of divorce under the Muslim law:
1.) Extra judicial divorce, and
2.) Judicial divorce

The category of extra judicial divorce can be further subdivided into three types, namely,
# By husband- talaaq, ila, and zihar.
# By wife- talaaq-i-tafweez, lian.
# By mutual agreement- khula and mubarat.

The second category is the right of the wife to give divorce under the Dissolution of Muslim Marriages Act 1939.

Talaaq: Talaaq in its primitive sense means dismission. In its literal meaning, it means "setting free", "letting loose", or taking off any "ties or restraint". In Muslim Law it means freedom from the bondage of marriage and not from any other bondage. In legal sense it means dissolution of marriage by husband using appropriate words. In other words talaaq is repudiation of marriage by the husband in accordance with the procedure laid down by the law.
