Among the permissible things, the most disliked by Allah is divorce. One should avoid giving divorce without a severe necessity. However, if the disagreements and conflicts between the husband and wife escalate to the point where they cannot be resolved despite the mediation of the elders from both families, and it appears difficult for them to continue living together, then divorce can be considered.
Divorce is the termination of the marriage contract between a husband and wife, resulting in the end of their relationship. However, there is a formal procedure and specific words required for divorce. Simply distancing oneself from the wife without the intention of divorce does not constitute a divorce; she remains within the marriage contract. Divorce does not happen automatically; rather, the husband has the authority to decide when to issue a divorce. Alternatively, the wife can terminate the marriage through “khula”.
