Evaluation of the Exegesis Understanding of the Verses of Divorce; Emphasizing the Coherence, Network Order and Trans-historicity of the Text

Although family laws in Iran derives from the Qur’an and hadiths, an increase in the number of divorces and a decrease in the number of marriages witnesses. In such a situation, it is natural to think that perhaps our understanding of the verses and hadiths flawed so that the results is in contrary to expectations. In this article, with the view of Qur’an as an exact, interconnected and trans-historical text, by using the interpretation method of thematic interpretation of Qur'an by Qur'an, it is introduced a new and trans-historical understanding of the divorce verses which is not difficult for current believers to accept. In this study, it is introduced a new understanding of at-Talaq: 1, al-Baqarah: 229, and al-Baqarah: 230. Then, we show there is just one type of divorce that takes place in two stages: (i) when iddah starts, the relationship that was became lawful by marriage would severed; (ii) after the period of iddah has passed, the separation completes. In this study, there is no traces of some laws, such as giving the man the right to divorce, Khula divorce, and the triple divorce.
