230. And if he hath divorced her (the
third time), then she is not lawful unto him thereafter until she hath wedded
another husband. Then if he (the other husband) divorce her it is no sin for
both of them that they come together again if they consider that they are
able to observe the limits of Allah. And these are the limits of Allah; He
manifesteth them for people who have knowledge.

Commentary
mim- ba’-du – (thereafter), it
means after the third divorce.
Tankiha – (she has
wedded), this word has been derived from Nikaah which means
marriage. It has been commanded in this verse that after the third divorce the
divorced woman will not be lawful for her first husband till the time she
doesn’t wed any other individual and get divorce from her second husband. Here
the word “tankiha” has not been used for the idiomatically meaning
as wedding, but it has been used here for its original and literal meaning as ‘copulation’,
because only understood meaning of the marriage has already come out from zawjan, so the
aim from the word tankiha is to declare intercourse after
marriage knot and that is its literal meaning.
‘in zannaaa – (if they
consider), that is to say; if they have intention and reliance that
thereafter they might be live together with correction and beauty.
It has been stated in
this verse that if the husband doesn’t reconcile after first two divorces then
now at the third time namely after the two divorces three months are sufficient
for setting them make a truce, meditation and consideration. After the third
divorce the husband cannot revoke the divorce of that woman who was his wife
earlier. Moreover, it is not possible that they wed again except in case that
the woman wed any other person after passing the term (‘iddat) period
(three months) and after copulation, that second husband either divorces her
with his pleasure or dies, and three months/four months & ten days
respectively of the term (‘iddat) period expires.
It has already been
mentioned that Islamic Divine Law doesn’t like the divorce certainly, so
restrictions of various sorts have been imposed in this matter, and it has been
instructed, “Meditate and understand thoroughly before divorce”. Islam provided
many opportunities so that they may concord again, but after expiry of all
these stages, while the divorce has been finalized, then now there is no chance
of concession. Now the husband can’t get back again his wife easily.
