Although the possibility of reconciling and healing the family is noble, no consideration is given to the interest of a woman in a potentially abusive relationship who may want to leave her husbands presence as quickly as possible, and no such restrictions are placed on the man. Moreover, if the triple talaaq was invoked or he had invoked the singular talaaq one time, they cannot get back together after the 'iddah without the semi-legal institution of the halalah or tahleel marriage, precluding family reconciliation altogether. Also not taken into consideration is the possibility that distance and time might solve some of the problems the couple are facing. | ||
