• "Rarely performed" seems like it is standard practice, but only rarely occurs. Triple talaq is not rarely performed by women against men, it is never performed, as in it is not even allowed in Islamic law for a woman to divorce her husband that way. Maybe the hook could be worded differently, which makes it clear that she ignored/broke the restriction or law which prevented her from obtaining a divorce that way?

  • @AmateurHi$torian: understood, I have changed it! From my understanding it is initiated by the husband and never the wife, so changed. I've changed it to match the CNN source more as it isn't customarily meant to be performed by women. jolielover♥talk 15:17, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
