(Book 29, Hadith 4) #36221
Divorce and its Consequences

SUMMARY: Marwan ibn al-Hakam declared that if someone pronounces divorce three times, the wife is irrevocably divorced.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab that Marwan ibn al-Hakam decided that if someone made three pronouncements of divorce, he had divorced his wife irrevocably. Malik said, "That is what I like best of what I have heard on the subject".
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، أَنَّ مَرْوَانَ بْنَ الْحَكَمِ، كَانَ يَقْضِي فِي الَّذِي يُطَلِّقُ امْرَأَتَهُ الْبَتَّةَ أَنَّهَا ثَلاَثُ تَطْلِيقَاتٍ ‏.‏ قَالَ مَالِكٌ وَهَذَا أَحَبُّ مَا سَمِعْتُ إِلَىَّ فِي ذَلِكَ

QUICK LESSONS:
Understand implications before making pronouncements in marriage relationships .

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith discusses the consequences of pronouncing divorce three times. According to Marwan ibn al-Hakam, if a husband pronounces divorce three times to his wife then it is considered an irrevocable divorce. This means that the couple can no longer be together and must go through with the process of separation. The hadith also highlights Malik's opinion on this matter as he states that this is what he likes best out of all he has heard on this subject. This implies that there are other opinions on this matter but Malik believes this one to be most accurate and true. It is important for couples to understand the implications of pronouncing divorce as it can have serious consequences for both parties involved in a marriage relationship.
