Les règles pour le talâq (arabe : طلاق, traduit en français par « répudiation » [1]) comprend toutes les formes de rupture volontaire du mariage [1]. Ces règles varient parmi les différentes madhhab (écoles juridiques). Les chiites et sunnites n'appliquent en effet pas les mêmes règles. Cependant la démarche est la même, c'est le mari qui a la charge de prononcer les formules.

Talaq (Arabic: الطلاق‎) is the Islamic term for divorce. A talaq is used to end a marriage, or nikah, under the terms of Islamic law (sharia).

The rules for talaq vary among the major Islamic schools of jurisprudence. Most importantly Shia and Sunni Muslims have different rules for performing a talaq. Sunni practice requires no witnesses, and allows a husband to end a relationship by saying the triple talaq. Shi'a scholars view the triple talaq as a jahiliyya ("pagan pre-Islamic") custom, forbidden by Muhammad, but reinstated by Umar ibn al-Khattab, and thus haraam ("forbidden"). Sunni scholars agree to the facts, but deem it halal ("lawful") anyway. Some Sunnī countries have debated whether the triple talaq can be performed with the help of modern technology such as by text message.[citation needed]
