65. Surah At-Talaq (The Divorce) is the 65th chapter of the Qur'an. Comprising 12 verses, it is a Madani Surah located in the 28th Juz'. It is also frequently referred to in classical jurisprudence as Surah An-Nisa al-Sughra (The Shorter Surah on Women) to differentiate it from Surah An-Nisa (Chapter 4), which covers broader family laws. While the chapter deals with the painful breakdown of marital contracts, its background information reveals that its primary objective was to replace chaotic pre-Islamic customs with a structured, ethical, and deeply God-conscious legal framework that protected vulnerable parties—specifically women and infants.
