2:227 Talâq طَّلَاقَ is an infinitive noun from talaqa طلق meaning she was left free to go her way; this is the case when a woman separates from her husband. The word thus signifies the dissolution of the ties of marriage (Lisân, Tâj). Though divorce is allowed in Islam, there are still many safeguards against its misuse. The Holy Prophet (pbuh) said, “Of all things which have been permitted, divorce is the most hated by God” (Dâ’ûd).
