[quote][quote]For your second question, basically answer is yes.

If man gives talaq, and they silently wait, and the 3 periods elapse in silence, then one talaq is final and they have to part their ways.

However if before the 3 periods have completed, they can reconcile.

After the 3 periods have elapsed, if they want to reconcile, they have to do nikah again and she can choose a new mehr. They can still marry because with silence after talaq and 3 periods passing, it is considered 1 talaq.

If the man in foolishness or anger utters talaq 3 times, then that is 3 talaq and they cannot do nikah unless she marries someone else and gets khula from him.

There is really no need to utter talaq 3 times, because one will do the job just as well.[/quote]

Assalaamu Alaikum.

Thank you for the clarifications. Regading your first answer, I understand what you have to offer. As for the second answer, I am afraid I don't quite capture how you derive your interpretation through the said verses of the Qur'an.

Doesn't "3 talaqs" mean the permission to retract talaaq thrice; rather than being able to divorce one's wife three times (each time, with the three periods elapsed). I don't understand how you infer that the allowance of three divorces refers to divorcing one's wife, and then, being able to re-marry her with a fresh nikah and mehr, twice, the third being the last time, requiring re-marriage of the lady to another man and then, a divorce from him.

I think if you accept three effective divorces in the way I think you've offered, then it would very well become a joke in marriages, which, we would agree, is not what Islam requires.

Humbly,
