Under
the Muslim Law a marriage is dissolved either by the death of the
husband or wife, or by divorce. After the death of a wife, the husband
may remarry immediately. But the widow cannot remarry before a certain
specified period called Iddat expires.
Generally, both the parties to the marriage contract have an opinion
for divorce, but the husbands right in this respect is much greater
than that of the wife.
The husband can dissolve the marriage tie at his will. A divorce
can also take place by mutual agreement.
But the wife cannot divorce herself from her husband without his
consent. She can of course purchase her divorce from her husband
and can have the marriage dissolved by Tafweez (delegation).
Marriage may also be dissolved by judicial decree under the Dissolution
of Muslim Marriage Act, 1939.
