And if the husband cannot pronounce divorce in Arabic...

And if the husband cannot pronounce divorce in Arabic, or cannot find a Wakil to do so, he can divorce in any language using the words of the same meaning as in Arabic formula. Issue 2518: There is no question of of divorce in the case of a woman with whom temporary marriage is contracted, for example, for one month or one year.

She becomes free when the period of her marriage expires or when the man forgoes the period of her marriage by saying: “I hereby exempt you from the remaining time of marriage”, and it is not necessary to have a witness nor that the woman should be Clean (tahir/pak) from her Haidh. Iddah of Divorce (The Waiting Period after Divorce) Issue 2519: A wife who is under nine and who is in her menopause will not be required to observe any waiting period.

It means that, even if the husband has had sexual intercourse with her, she can remarry immediately after being divorced. Issue 2520: * If a wife who has completed nine years of her age and is not in menopause, is divorced by her husband after sexual intercourse, it is necessary for her to observe the waiting period of divorce.

The waiting period of a free woman is that after her husband divorces her during her Clean (tahir/pak) period, she should wait till she sees Haidh twice and becomes Clean (tahir/pak). Thereafter, as soon as she sees Haidh for the third time, her waiting period will be over and she can marry again.

If, however, a husband divorces his wife before having sexual intercourse with her, there is no waiting period for her and she can marry another man immediately after being divorced, except if she finds traces of her husband's semen in her private part, then she should observe Iddah. Issue 2521: If a woman does not see Haidh in spite of being the age of women who normally see Haidh, if her husband divorces her after sexual intercourse, she should observe Iddah for three months after divorce.

Issue 2522: * If a woman whose Iddah is of three months, is divorced on the first of a month, she should observe Iddah for three lunar months, that is, for three months from the time the moon is sighted. And if she is divorced during the month, she should observe Iddah for the remaining days in the month added to two months thereafter, and again for the balance from the fourth month so as to complete three months.
