Nikah halala

Nikah halala (Urdu: نکاح حلالہ), also known as tahleel marriage,[1] is a practice in which a woman, after being divorced by her husband by triple talaq, marries another man, consummates the marriage, and gets divorced again in order to be able to remarry her former husband.[2] Nikah means marriage and halala means to make something halal, or permissible.[3] This form of marriage is haram (forbidden) according to the hadith of Islamic prophet Muhammad.[4][5] Nikah halala is practiced by a small minority of Muslims, mainly in countries that recognise the triple talaq.[6][7]
