Divorce (talaq)

In his commentary on al-Baqara 2:228-232, Sha'rawi reads divorce in stages, once and then twice, as giving the couple room to mend; he holds that returning to a wife after the waiting period needs a new contract and a new dower and the woman's consent, and that relatives may not block the return when the spouses agree.
