Divorce is of two types: 1. A revocable divorce, which does not end the marriage contract until the waiting period has expired. 2. An irrevocable divorce, which ends the marriage contract upon its occurrence, and is divided into two types: a. Minor irrevocable divorce: is the divorce that occurs for the first or second time and the divorcer does not take his divorced wife back during the waiting period, the divorced woman is not permissible for her divorcer except with a new contract and a new dowry. b. Major irrevocable divorce, which is the divorce that completes three divorces. The divorced woman is not permissible for her divorcer until her waiting period from another husband who has actually had intercourse with her in a valid marriage.
