difficult situations because of the selfish and cruel actions of men. In Islam, if a
woman has been divorced properly, she can't be forced to marry her ex-husband
again in the future. The idea of Halala (remarrying an ex-husband) means that a
woman is starting a new chapter in her married life, and this can only happen if
