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.
