Making the third pronouncement irrevocable acts as a deterrent to rash repudiations. This is known as tahlil marriage or nikah halala. If the husband repudiates his wife for the third time, it triggers a 'major' divorce ( al-baynuna al-kubra), after which the couple cannot remarry without an intervening consummated marriage by the wife to another man. This is called a 'minor' divorce ( al-baynuna al-sughra) and the couple can remarry. The divorce becomes final when the waiting period expires. Resumption of sexual relations automatically retracts the repudiation. The husband can revoke the divorce at any time during the waiting period ( ‘ iddah) which lasts three full menstrual cycles. The initial declaration of talaq is a revocable repudiation (ṭalāq rajʿah) which does not terminate the marriage. In classical Islamic law, a husband may divorce by simply announcing to his wife that he repudiates her ( talaq). Nikah halala is practiced by a small minority of Muslims, mainly in countries that recognise the triple talaq. This form of marriage is haram (forbidden) according to the hadith of Islamic prophet Muhammad. Nikah means marriage and halala means to make something halal, or permissible.

Nikah halala ( Urdu: نکاح حلالہ), also known as tahleel marriage, is a practice in which a woman, after being divorced by triple talaq, marries another man, consummates the marriage, and gets divorced again in order to be able to remarry her former husband.
