The default nature of divorce is that it is revocable, except in cases where it becomes irrevocable (Bain), such as: divorce in exchange for compensation, and a wife's waiver of her rights during the ' (waiting period) makes it an irrevocable divorce. If the divorce is irrevocable but not the third divorce, the husband may take his wife back with a new contract, a new Mahr (dowry), and her consent. It is recommended to consult scholars or specialized personal status authorities to confirm certain matters.
