Nikah halala is one of the most bizarre and revolting aspects of Islamic law. It is a temporary marriage that allows a woman to return to her previous husband after a divorce. If her husband says “I divorce you” to her three times, she can’t return to him unless and until she marries another man, consummates the marriage, and is in turn divorced by the new husband. This is based on the Qur’an. Allah’s regulations for divorce emphasize regarding women that “men are a degree over them” (Qur’an 2:228). This may be why men can divorce their wives simply by saying, “Talaq” — You are divorced, or I divorce you. Such an easy procedure leads to divorces in a fit of pique, followed by reconciliation — and the Qur’an anticipates this and attempts to head it off by stipulating that a husband who divorces his wife three times cannot reconcile with her until she marries another man and is in turn divorced by him: “And if he has divorced her, then she is not lawful to him after that until she has married another husband. Then if he divorces her, it is no sin for both of them that they come together again, if they think that they are able to observe the limits of Allah. These are the limits of Allah. He shows them to people who have knowledge.” (Qur’an 2:230).
“Uttar Pradesh: Man throws acid at ex-wife for refusing to undergo ‘Halala,’” TimesNowNews, June 29, 2022:
Bareily: A man first divorced his wife with ‘Teen Talaq’ and then forced her to undergo ‘halala’ to marry her again as per Islamic law and denying that, he attacked her with acid, reported Dainik Bhaskar.
The police have started an investigation into the matter. The acid with which the man attacked his ex-wife was reportedly a toilet-cleaning acid. The police said that they have sent the sample to labs to confirm it.
In search of the accused husband Ishaq, the police are raiding his and his relatives’ houses along with acquaintances. The police are unable to find his location as Ishaq’s mobile phone is switched off.
The condition of the victim is now stated to be out of danger.
After the echo of this matter reached the Chief Minister, the government asked for a report of this acid incident.
The victim reportedly told the police that her ex-husband Ishaq had come on the pretext of talking to her. He was forcing her to undergo ‘halala’. When she refused, he started verbally abusing her and her family.
The victim said that when he had entered the house with acid in the bag, she inquired suspiciously, he said that he is taking goods for the house. Ishaq had threatened to throw acid earlier as well….
The accused ex-husband of the victim was the son of her mother’s brother. He had divorced her three weeks before the acid attack. For the past few days, he had been forcing his ex-wife to undergo halala and get married again.
Wellington says
There is no end to Islam’s sickness and all the evils it condones. No end either to Islam’s misogyny and which is often disguised as emboldening women’s rights, a monumental lie if ever there were one.
I am utterly fed up with 1) Islam; 2) defenses by Muslims of Islam; and 3) defenses by non-Muslims of Islam, with the current Pope being Exhibit #1 here in this shameful category.

Well said, Wellington. I agree with your sentiments. On the Pope, he must surely have some idea of the barbaric content of Islam since he could send some of his minions out to research the subject, so there’s no excuse for his ignorance, whereas some of the fools who think islam is OK are just know nothing idiots. On this ruling about women divorcing and then being allowed to remarry, my immediate response was, this is insane. How diseased would the minds of these Muslim clowns who devised such a twisted system have to be to come up with such truly bizarre rules. It is just so weird. But I guess islam will do that to a human being’s mind. As you say, there’s no end to islam’s sickness.

Let’s forget Islam, just for a moment, and look at Christian USA and violence.
So reassuring to know that no NRA member has committed a mass shooting. So, it must be somebody else. So reassuring to know that “most” of the violence comes from “illegal” guns. Where do the illegal guns come from – could it be from American gun factories and American gun shops and the American gun culture?
It’s not reassuring to know that an 18 year old college boy can walk into a shop and buy a shotgun with which he intends to kill children. And that such purchases can and do happen every day, perfectly legally, in your country. (Not in many others). It’s not reassuring to know that your “worthy” highest judges in the land can’t or won’t see how insane this is.
It’s not reassuring to know that there are more deadly weapons in the USA than there are citizens.
It’s not reassuring to know that the murder rate in the USA is eight or more times the rate in Spain, Italy, Norway, and other western countries – yes eight (8) times. Why is it relevant to talk about illegal guns or criminals, or “a straw man”, when these facts are facts?
I want to know how you people have the unbelievable arrogance to condemn another culture for violence, as if you have some moral authority to do so. As if your culture is superior to theirs, despite its ever more obvious failings. You have none. Your lovingly nurtured hatred of others blinds your minds to reality. As if hatred will achieve anything but more violence. To sane people, your obsessions are disgusting as well as idiotic.
Since 9/11 there have been over 41000 Islamic terrorist attacks worldwide – thank you Wellington. And by my admittedly approximate calculations, there have been, since 9/11, about 300,000 murders in the USA, give or take say 25,000. These are not religious fanatics killing infidels or heretics. They are American citizens killing each other.
But perhaps this is just another “straw man”. We gotta remember – always – Muslims are violent! And we gotta hate them.
Politicallyincorrectistruth says
Muslims have a very low emotional IQ in some countries.
Bangladesh is the acid attack Capitol of the world and is 86% muslim. In the UK, the area with the highest rate of acid attacks is the same area with the highest percentage a Bangladesh muslims. Pedophilia has divine sanction in Islam and with the amount of muslims worldwide, that’s an awful lot of child rapes. I could go on and on about how disgusting islam is but to sum it up..islam is a pox on humanity. This site is about how wrong islam is and occasionaly some commentors will tend to swipe all muslims with the same brush. Yes, there are moderate muslims, but there is no moderate Islam.
Islam is truly a pox on humanity. The world will soon tire of trying to drag muslims (kicking and screaming) into the 21st century when they have no intention of changing their disgusting, violent Quran.
Bee Happy says
Rod, you just worded your level of stupidity to perfection. Bravo! Doesn’t sound like you are American or know anything about America or its Constitution, or the reason why people in America fearcely protect their Natural birth right to own and bear arms.
My suggestion? Go back to the hole you crawled out from and STFU!
In closing, I’m not religious, and I’m not American, in case you are wondering.
Ignorance is not bliss!
Rod says
Are 15,000 murders per year and a climate of fear pervading the entire nation, even in classrooms, a reasonable price to pay for the right to bear arms? Even if the Constitution isn’t being deliberately misinterpreted?
Other countries, including Muslim countries where I’ve lived, are safer and happier and prouder without such a “right”, which to them is unarguably ridiculous.
Sorry but your insults add nothing to your credibility. Insults tend to have the opposite effect.

“Rod” again pretends that Jihadists do not murder people using guns–this is quite false.
Then, he never cites the paradises he has lived in, including in the Muslim world. Of course, he does not have to–he just hopes that Anti-Jihadists will buy his constant “Westerners bad, Jihadists good” shtick.
raja says
Rod,
Give or take “25,000” you are an Islamic apologist, that islam must be kept alive thanks to people like you. The other kinds are: terror deniers and terror justifiers.
somehistory says
‘rod’ is a troll. and contrast his comments with atheists who deny that the U.S. has anything even remotely resembling Christianity and a foundation of the principles of the Bible as a basis. But, ones such as ‘rod’ will make the claim that the U.S. is now a Christian nation. It was once closer to being Christian than it is now. But this claim is just an attempt to make Christians look as guilty of murder, rape, etc. as mozlums.
raja, ‘rod’ is not worth your time. he won’t listen.
john smith says
Rod, I do agree with a lot what you have to say, but let’s get one thing straight shall we. Many muslims are evil because this is what their religion requires from them, the more evil they are makes them a better muslim.
Yes there is a lot of crime in the states, but this is to do with people and not religion.
It’s as simple as that.

gravenimage says
This is “Rod’s” entire shtick–that since there is gun violence in the United States–mostly inner city gang activity–that Anti-Jihadists all over the world can not be allowed to condemn Jihad terror.
This presumes several things, all of which are false–firstly, that Americans and other Westerners approve of crime and murder–but this is of course quite false.
Then, it assumes that one cannot condemn more than one form of violence at the same time–that if one condemns a Muslim attacking his ex-wife with acid that this ergo means that they are cheering on gangbangers killing children. This is also obviously quite false.
It also assumes that if you act against Jihad terror in any way, that it is impossible for you to act against any other kind of violence. This is untrue.
I have worked for tougher sentences for violent crimes, and I have also taught adult literacy in the jails. Neither is a panacea, of course, but both have proven helpful in reducing violence.
The only thing “Rod” *hasn’t* claimed here is that concern over an Indian woman’s being attacked is “racist”–although he has previously claimed that concern over Jihad terror is “racist”–even in cases where the victims are Nigerians and Egyptians.
My guess is that the only reason that “Rod” has not trotted this out here is because he has been called on it.
But he *does* claim that concern over a Muslim woman being attacked with acid is evidence of hatred of Muslims. Utterly bizarre. I suppose our cheering this savagery on would be deemed ‘loving’.
“Rod” never changes. Thousands of victims of Jihad terror? But…but…the NRA hasn’t been abolished yet!
This is classic Tu quoque and whataboutism, and is only intended to distract from the horrors of Jihad.
Just look up the effects of acid attacks–which are rife in the Muslim world, and most on the basis of Islam itself as here.
Then, there is his usual claptrap about the civilized West being far worse than Dar-al-Islam–although he has never been able to back this up, needless to say.
He also implies here that each Jihad terror attack has had only one victim–this is obviously far from the case.

India: Muslim throws acid at his ex-wife for refusing to marry another man, be divorced by him so they could remarry
………………………
Sick on so many levels–this *poor woman*.
This is how he shows her that he really loved her and just made a mistake in divorcing her…sarc/off
There is little love in Islam.
Keith O says
Wrong GI, there is NO love in islam, nor even any concept of it.
This vermin should be on the receiving end of some acid in his smug face, just so he knows what it feels like or maybe on the family jewels to lessen the chances of him doing the same again.
gravenimage says
Keith, you are right. There is no love in Islam.
What I should have said is that there is little love in the Muslim world. A few Muslims defy the diktats of Islam and genuinely love their spouses, but this is far from the norm.
somehistory says
Well first cousin marriage is a very bad idea….he was most likely the product of that practice…defective in brain as well as no morals, no virtue…and demanding that his ex-wife, whom he divorced…wonder what his *reason* was for that action…to marry another and get another divorce so he could marry her again.
What would happen if she married again, but it was to a decent…infidel…man and she didn’t want a divorce? What if she made a good wife, willing to give up any mozlum evil and her new infidel husband didn’t want to divorce her? That would *show* him.
I hope they find the murderous creep and put him under the prison without a carpet, sans a filthy book and only pork to eat.
gravenimage says
Somehistory, I am *no* fan of first cousin marriage–it is not genetically healthy, and often has unhealthy family dynamics.
But most who practice first cousin marriage are not violent. I think, as is so often the case, that this has more to do with the savagery of Islam itself.
somehistory says
g, you read too much into what I wrote….the first cousin thing happens without having any thing to do with mozlums, but it’s still a bad idea. mix that with islam….the families all are sticking with the male …even the woman’s own parents frequently go with the male relative.
i was not saying that “first cousins” getting married was the reason for what he did. islam was the reason, but if he was the product of a first cousin thing, and then he married a first cousin…it just gets worse and worse the more generations that are marrying first cousins.
Politicallyincorrectistruth says
G does have a tendency to read things into peoples comments that are not suggested or even entirely not there in some cases. But this is her site….or does she only think it is?

Somehistory and Politicallyincorrectistruth, thanks for the replies. Somehistory, I do agree about first cousin marriage being a bad idea no matter who is practicing it.
Politicallyincorrectistruth, I post here quite frequently, but this is Robert Spencer’s site, and I of course never lose sight of that. I am glad that he allows posting here.
My posting here frequently does not prevent anyone else from commenting. In fact, I like to see robust discussion in the threads.
And I will often expand on a topic in a reply to another poster–this doesn’t mean that I always narrowly address just the point that the other poster was making.
Then, I always look for both of your posts here.

Gravenimage,
Agreed, it is savagery of islam that is more harmful than first cousin marriages. In India first cousins marriages are allowed but only between offspring of brother and sister (at least in some parts of the country) Offspring of brothers are not allowed to marry among themselves. Same is the case with offspring of sisters. There have been genetic disorders among the married first cousins of a brother and a sister. islam allows all first cousin marriages, a catalyst of genetic disorders. I don’t know if that propels them to violence but it is casting aspersion about the ability of the person’s thinking or reasoning. May be this is Satan’s ploy to keep them hooked to islam despite all the signs of its fakeness.
gravenimage says
raja, I have never heard that gender is a factor in cousin marriage–it has to do with consanguinity, which is the same whatever the specific genders of those involved.
Birth defects are sadly more common, and if a family has a specific genetic weakness–such as poor eyesight or a weak immune system–this is more likely to get passed down than with a more robust gene pool.
But I agree that ideology, rather than genetics, is the main determiner of behavior.
Infidel says
I dunno whether she told him that (it’s not mentioned in the story), but if she didn’t, she should have told him, “You divorced me, that’s fine: now you are free to marry, and so am I. And we’re not marrying each other again!”
Since they are first cousins, wonder how the family decided which side to support?
raja says
Infidel,
Therein is the catch. Since they are not equals how do they communicate? In islam the families are either acrimonious all the time or in sex-paradise till ….sex-paradise because they place glass panes instead of woodboard at one end end of the bed- generally.
Black Sabbath says
Moslems have usually multiple wires, some of them trapped through “love jihad” where moslems posses as Hindu to lure some dumb infidel woman. Then they pimp them to others to generate income. They divorce the wife, then give it to some dude to do whatever with them for few weeks or months, and then re-marry them and prepare them for the next customer. It is legalized prostitution under islamic culture of filth and perversion.

Sadly not uncommon, Black Sabbath.
DonAmeche says
What if the second “husband” doesn’t want to ‘divorce’ the wife after he has married her ? The first husband is out of luck then ?

Often this sick stuff is brokered by the Imam, so I imagine there is lot of pressure to divorce–but I’m sure that this does indeed sometimes happen.
