What is Halala?

In all the religions, largely, a marriage is a union of a male and a female and remains unbreakable from the day of solemnization till the end of last breath.

Marriage in Hinduism

In Hinduism a reference that is most frequently made and heard is, that a marriage is a bond for seven births/seven lifetimes.

How did “unbreakable bond of seven births” become a currency of the time that is difficult to trace, however, the rational behind it is easy to gauge and that is to impart the marriage a sacred nature which stresses a bond that lasts forever.

Marriage in Islam

In Islam, the marriage (Nikah) is a social contract, different from the contract of a business etc, it has a sanctity attached to it affirmed by the Quranic Injunctions

Conceived notion

As soon as the marriage in Islam is referred to as a social contract the sanctity of a marriage is reduced to a minimal gravity.

Intellectuals and a number of scholars hold an opinion thar the marriage for Muslims  is solely a source of gratification of one’s carnal desires.

Divorce

Divorce in all the societies is considered a reprehensible and an abominable act.  

The nature of divorce is, snapping a relationship which only death could have separated.

Divorce In Hinduism

In the scriptures of Hinduism, despite the discordant relation and incompatibility the emphasis has been given on the adjustment and enduring sufferings of each other. The divorce can not be resorted to under any circumstances excepting a few, for instance indulgence in adultery. Tolerance and endurance are something which is generally advised and the religious texts, in Sanatan Dharma, do not foresee a situation where the life becomes a hell nor does it suggest a remedy except to accept this conflict a part of destiny and expect a reward by becoming an ideal wife/husband whose marriage though has reached a stage beyond repair, yet the bond of marriage has to be kept intact just for the sake of religious and societal dogmas that is attached to the breakdown of marriage.

Divorce In Islam

A man in Islam, as perceived largely, has an unbridled power to snap the relationship as and when he wishes to do so. And therefore, in reported and unreported cases it is heard and at times read that a Muslim man invoked Talaq just because the quantity of salt in the gravy was lessor or the dish became a little salty and it did not taste well.

To what extent the above notion is true?

The 2011 census displays the Talaq ratio 0.56 in Muslims whereas in fellow citizens it amounts to 0.76. calculably 560 women out of 1 lakh in Muslims are divorcee while 760 out of 1 lakh are in Hindus.   

Reality of Talaq in Muslims

The evil certainly exits that has to be eradicated by either the consensus of religious people within the particular society or wait for the government’s turn to serve you with a legislation that tastes bitter.

Contrary to what Hindu scriptures suggested, scriptures in Islam have shown some liberty and allowed separation at a time when all the attempts for conciliation have failed and the marriage has reached a stage where the essence of marriage has completley disrupted and the the marriage has brought about misery instead of joy and happiness,  the divorce is considered the best remedy for the couple as preserving the marriage in such complex cases become impossible.

Problems of Muslim women after the Talaq and the solution

Once triple Talaq has been pronounced, Islam puts an absolute bar over the return of divorcee woman to the huband invoked Talaq. The reason that Islam assigns to this bar is, the dignity of a woman whom a man has crushed by utterring Talaq thrice. Islam does not allow this woman become a victim of such person once again who has not treated her as a human being but reduced her entity to an object which has no worth at all. 

His invocation of Triple Talaq wa quite like snake bite the poison of which affects both and makes the relation between them entirely illegitimae. Now this lady  can not be permiited to be bitten once again by the same snake.

if a divorcee can not go to the husband who has given triple talaq, what option does she have?

She with the assistance of her guardian or well-wishers will look for an another better and will get remarried, however it not that easy once the stigma of divorce is attached.

What is Halala?

Chilling stories begin unfolding when a female after the divorce passionately wishes to stay with the same husband, who has disregarded her entity as human being, and Islam disallows this mockery of the bond of marriage. Now Halala comes into picture.

The act of Halala is denigrating Muslim Women to the extent that it is allegedly reducing them to merely an object which has no worth at all and it's only the Muslim man, who has unbridled power to degrade her, following his capricious nature.

But is it true?

Let's see the etymology of Arabic Word حلاله or حلالة (Halala)

The Arabic word حلال(Halal) used in Quran and Hadith signifies something legitimate and lawful.

What we see in حلالة or حلاله (Halala)and addition of either tiny shape of ة {(Ta,or (ه) Ha) } which is largely understood as, a former's wife unwilling or willing sexual intercourse with a man who will be acting as her husband for a night only in order to give legitimacy to ex-husband for treating her wife once again and maintaining sexual relations.

Does the word connote the same meaning as it is being construed by us largely?

Virtually such term Like Halala does not even find its mentioning in the Quran or Hadith.

The practice can't be belied as well, then what it truly means?

Will understand it with an illustration, for instance Sahil, Aman and Seema; Sahil and Seema were formerly Husband and wife but for some reason they got separated. Seema, the Wife got married again to Aman, 2nd husband, Aman accidentally dies. Now the question arises whether Seema, whose 2nd husband has passed away, can return to her 1st husband, Sahil , as a wife and whether Islam gives legitimacy to such marriage and consummation of marriage, the answer is, yes. And the same can be termed as Halal Relationship

2nd illustration:

Sahil and Seema were husband and wife but for certain reason they snapped the relationship of marriage.

Seema, the wife, got married to another man, Aman, but with the passage of time she realized, the former husband was comparatively better in terms of maintaining her as a wife and the former husband at the same time felt sorry for her first wife and desperately waited for her return. In such a situation will Muslim law allow them to be husband and wife again after realization of their mistakes?

The answer is,yes.

The term for the same can be Halal Relationship.

The practice (marriage for a night in order to impart legitimacy for intimate relationship to ex-husband) which TV Channels show the masses through their Sting operation is absolutely forbidden in Islam and those who indulge in this act not only display a distorted picture of Islam, but in fact they put an irreparable dent to the values of Prophet Mohammed.

Interesting Question

Sahil and Seema, were validly married as per Islamic law. Their relationship turned sour and On Monday they got divorced. But just after the divorce both of them realized that they were better together. Tuesday morning they solemnize their marriage as per Islamic law again.

 Does Islamic law recognize this marriage which was solemnized on Tuesday?

As to the answer of the question raised, is of two folds:

1st, currently since the BJP government in India has declared Instant Triple Talaq null and void, so according to preconceived notion, this abominable act of Halala won't at all be required.

2nd, yes, she can return to her previous husband even after Triple Talaq, provided she no longer wishes to be governed by the law under which she got her first marriage registered.

Once she has denounced the laws she is at liberty to lead her life following her whims and fancies.
