Disclaimer - This is based purely on my own research. I dont mean to insult any religious values, I respect all of them equally...
So, while waiting for Monday, I spent most of my weekend in researching on the Islamic laws on talaq, ruzu and halala... ( trust me, its not complicated, just the depiction in movies/shows and various school of thoughts have made it so)...
So, I read and read, and also asked my various friends about it and here it is
So the three divorces have been twisted to mean saying it three times, when it is not that way... it means that a couple has two chances of getting back together after getting divorced and only the 3rd one makes it irrevocable.
So, it so happens that when a husband says "talaq" to his wife, she immediately enters into 3 months iddah period ( a period in which she should have minimal interaction with any guy including her husband). If a husband during this period wants he can take the wife back through Ruzu, or else if iddah expires, they stands divorced and then if he wants to take her back, it can be only through
remarriage.
This can be done twice, but at the third time, the moment talaq is said, its irrevocable. So, husband cannot take wife back either during iddah or after that unless she married someone else ( thats halala)...
So, suppose a husband gave his wife 1st divorce and then took her back, then gave divorce after 2 years and took her back again. He will have only one more divorce left, post that, she is haraam for him.
Now, coming to Zain-Aaliya, the CVs twisted the whole thing, to create drama... Zain gave Aaliya talaq and her 3 months iddah started... so now if we take those two months to be 3 months and consider that her iddah got complete without ruzu, they are divorced. But its only the first one, so Zain can still marry her back.
If we consider that he took her back by saying "meri biwi hai wo", and then again said divorce... that was his second divorce and now she is in her 3 months iddah period. So again he can take her back.
Thus, by all logic, there is no halala actually required for them to reconcile.
