Talaq Before Consummation of Marriage:

Different countries have different cultures. The purpose of the marriage is cohabitation between husband and wife. Sometimes people do marriage in Pakistan, but no rukhsati takes place. The wife does not go to live with the husband, which is called rukhsati. Not all the time, but occasionally this is practiced in Pakistan. In this situation later on, if the husband or the wife does not want to live with each other, they can get talaq before consummation of marriage in Pakistan. A husband can give talaq before consummation of marriage in Pakistan. In Islam and Pakistani law, you cannot force a husband and wife to live with each other. The husband and the wife can end the matrimonial bond irrespective of the fact that consummation took place between them or not.

Just like a husband can give talaq before consummation of marriage in Pakistan, in the same way the female can also take khula in Pakistan irrespective of the fact that consummation took place or not. If a female needs a divorce from the husband, she can file a case for dissolution of marriage in Pakistan. This case can be filed even before or after the consummation. The only difference between the case before and after consummation is that after consummation the wife may have to leave her complete haq mehar in the court for the khula, and if the consummation has not taken place, the wife only has to leave her half haq mehar in Pakistan.

IDDAT:

The main purpose of the period of iddat in Islam is to ensure that the female is not pregnant. If the husband and the wife have not consummated the marriage, then the wife doesn’t have to go through the iddat period. The religion of Islam has given the right to both the husband and wife that if they don’t want to live with each other, they can get divorced. A husband can give talaq before consummation of marriage in Pakistan, and the wife can also take khula before the consummation of marriage.

REMARRIAGE BETWEEN THE TWO:

If the husband and the wife get talaq before consummation of marriage in Pakistan and later on they think that they should rejoin, then they have to remarry again with the new amount of haq mehar in Pakistan. There is no concept of halala in Pakistan and Islam. The law of Pakistan gives the right to both the husband and the wife that if they want to remarry, they can, and they don’t need any halala for that. If the couple is divorced, they have the right to do a marriage or court marriage in Pakistan with anyone of their own choice.

Once the process of divorce in Pakistan is finalized, they are issued a Nadra divorce certificate as proof that they are now divorced.
