Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to familiarize readers with the various methods of divorce in Islamic law. Divorce, according to the Holy Prophet (SAW), is the worst of the things permitted by law. Divorce is an evil that should be avoided as much as possible. However, in some cases, this evil becomes a necessity, because when the parties to the marriage are unable to carry on their union with mutual affection and love, it is preferable to allow them to separate rather than compel them to remain together in a state of animosity and apathy. The author also aims to provide a thorough explanation of the broad notion of divorce in Islam by methodically classifying it according to its effectiveness and structure. Furthermore, it seeks to clarify the rights granted to the husband and wife in the event of a divorce. All of the different aspects of divorce will be carefully covered in separate sections so that readers can grasp the subject completely.
