In Islam, a divorce (known as Talaq) occurs when a husband pronounces the intention to divorce his wife. This must be clearly stated and can be done verbally or in writing. After this declaration, there's typically a waiting period called Iddah, during which the couple can reconcile. If reconciliation is not achieved and the Iddah period ends, the divorce is finalized. Mutual consent and judicial process can also lead to divorce in certain circumstances.
