Talaq-a-tafweez operates in law as
A. A talaq of the wife by the husband
B. A talaq of the husband by the wife
C. A talaq by mutual consent
D. A talaq by Ila
Answer: Option B
Solution (By Examveda Team)
The correct answer is Option B: A talaq of the husband by the wife.Let's break it down:
* Talaq in Muslim Law means divorce.
* Talaq-a-tafweez is a specific type of divorce.
* The word "tafweez" means delegation of power.
* In Talaq-a-tafweez, the husband delegates his right to pronounce talaq (divorce) to his wife.
* This delegation is usually included in the marriage contract (Nikahnama).
* Therefore, when the wife exercises this delegated power and pronounces talaq, it's essentially the wife divorcing the husband based on the authority given to her by the husband.
* Option A is incorrect because Talaq-a-tafweez is initiated by the wife, not the husband.
* Option C is incorrect. Talaq by mutual consent is called Khula or Mubarat, not Talaq-a-tafweez.
* Option D is incorrect. Talaq by Ila is a different process where the husband vows to abstain from marital relations for a specific period.

But isn't it a divorce by wife to husband.
