description In the province of Ayıntab, the formation of a family, that is, marriage is influenced by such decisive main factors as Islamic Law and Tradition. Moreover, in parallel with Islamic Law, the termination of a family i.e. divorce is performed in three ways: with a husband‟s one-sided will with no assertion of any reason or no consent of his wife (talak), with a mutual agreement to break-up the marriage, which declares the wife‟s renunciation from her rights (hul‟ or muhala‟a), the termination of the marriage with the decision of the judge (kadı) as a result of some specific reasons (tefrik). Talak, one way of divorce, is the termination of a marriage performed only with the will of the husband. However, muhala‟a and tefrik, the other two ways of divorce, are the termination of marriage only with the wife‟s demand for divorce
