If a man divorces his wife after the marriage contract but before consummation, the divorce takes effect, and she is not obligated to observe the waiting period (), based on the Almighty's saying: "O you who have believed, when you marry believing women and then you divorce them before you have touched them, then there is not for you any waiting period to count concerning them." (Quran 33:49) A wife's request for divorce in a state of anger does not prevent its occurrence, and a woman incurs sin by requesting divorce without a legitimate reason.
