Now came the central government in action and passed the act which stated that
maintenance to a divorced woman by her husband will only be given during the period of Iddat, or till 90 days after the divorce.
The Congress government which was then in power, passed the Muslim Women, which made it necessary for the husband to pay alimony to his wife,
but only during the period of Iddat, that is 90 days after divorce.
When ye divorce women, and they fulfil the term of their('Iddat), do not prevent them from marrying their(former)
husbands, if they mutually agree on equitable terms. This instruction is for all amongst you, who believe in Allah and the Last Day. That is(the course Making for) most virtue and purity amongst you and Allah knows, and ye know not.
