Dear Sir,
Talaq-e-ahsan is talaq pronounced in 3 tuhurs(3 menstrual cycle) while a woman is not menstruating. while Talaq-e-hasan is talaq pronounce in 3 tuhurs ( 2 months/3 menstrual cycle) while she is menstruating.
Among the muslims three different form of divorce can be seen-
-Talaq
-khula
-mubarat
The right of talaq is available only to the male member .-khula is that form of marriage which is demanded by the wife but without being sanctioned by a priest khula is consider to be illegitimate. -Mubarat is that form of divorce which is based on mutual consent.
Talaq can be further classified in three types-
Talaq-e -biddat
Talaq-e-ahsan
Talaq-e-hasan
(ii) Talaq Hasan (Proper):
This Talaq is also regarded to be the proper and approved form of Talaq. In this form too, there is a provision for revocation. But it is not the best mode because evil words of Talaq are to be pronounced three times in the successive Tuhrs. The formalities required under this form are as under:
(a) The husband has to make a single declaration of Talaq in a period of ‘Tuhr.
(b) In the next Tuhr, there is another single pronouncement for the second time.
It is significant to note that the first and second pronouncements may be revoked by the husband. If he does so, either expressly or by resuming conjugal relations, the words of Talaq become ineffective as if no Talaq was made at all.
(c) But, if no revocation is made after the first or second declaration then lastly the husband is to make the third pronouncement in the third period of purity (Tuhr). As soon as this third declaration is made, the Talaq becomes irrevocable and the marriage dissolves and the wife has to observe the required Iddat.
It may be noted that the important feature of Talaq Hasan is its revocability before the third pronouncement and its irrevocability after the third. In order to make an effective Talaq, the words must be uttered three times in three consecutive period of purity.
In Ghulam Mohyuddin v. Khizer, a husband wrote a Talaqnama in which he said that he had pronounced his first Talaq on 15th September and the third Talaq would be completed on 15th November. He had communicated this to his wife on 15th September.
The Lahore High Court held that this was a Talaq Hasan. The Court observed that the Talaqnama was merely a record of the first pronouncement and the Talaq was revocable. The Court further observed that for an effective and final Talaq, the three pronouncements must actually be made in three Tuhrs-, only a mention of the third declaration is not sufficient.
