Commentary
Yu’-luuna – (who
forswear), this word has been derived from ‘iilaa which means
forswear. Idiomatically its aim is to swear for living separate from the wife.
It was common custom in the Arabians that whenever they used to come in rage,
they forswore remaining separate from their wives.
Talaaq –
(divorce), according to law, disconnecting the mutual relationship entirely
among husband and wife is called ‘divorce’, repudiation. Different ways of
divorce were customary in the world before Islam. There was no restriction or
responsibility in the matter of divorce among the Jews. Whenever any individual
wished, he got rid of his wife writing a divorce letter only. The wife could
wed another husband at the same time. Comparing this freedom, the Christians
chose very difficult way. They kept no accommodation for husband and wife to be
separate, except that the wife becomes guilty of fornication. The same
condition is of the Indian religion. The divorce is still unlawful for them
till today. On the contrary, Islam adopted the way of temperance.
It was mode of
Arabians that after forswearing, which was a kind of divorce according to them,
they used to set free from paying the expenditures of their wives, performing
other duties and responsibilities for them. Islam corrected this rule and
explained that forswearing is not equal to breaking the marriage knot, but it
is only the beginning. Islam has determined length of time for meditation,
consideration and period for this long time kept four months, which is quite
sufficient for this purpose that the husband may think with cool heart on all
aspects and this important matter of separation from his wife.
Islam has permitted with the condition that if
the husband feels faithfully that if his life partner; either doesn’t cooperate
with him or doesn’t fulfill his lawful desires, then he should divorce her,
despite it that they pine away their entire lives and remain displeased from
each other. It is better that they should be disconnected.
