At-Talaq

Sūrat aṭ-Talāq[1] (Arabic: سورة الطلاق‎, "Divorce") is the 65th surah of the Qur'an with 12 ayat. At-Talaq is not only the name of this Surah but also the title of its subject matter, as it contains commandments about Talaq (divorce) itself.[2] Abdullah ibn Masud has described it as the shorter surah An-Nisa.[3] The surah also defines the time period of Iddah to be three menstruation periods. For pre-menarche girls and for post-menopause women - three months. In case of pregnancy, after the delivery of the child.[4]
