Note 759 — Chapter V · EARLY HISTORY OF DIVORCE

Hellwald, op. cit., 410, 411; following especially Vincenti, Die Ehe im Islâm, 22, 23. After the third divorce or declaration there is still a way in which the man can get his wife back when she, in due legal form, has married another man, and has been repudiated by him. This procedure is usually collusive by means of a "straw husband": Hellwald, loc. cit., citing Efendi, Türkische Skizzen, II, 15. In general see Unger, Die Ehe, 48-50; Letourneau, op. cit., 289-99, on the triple declaration among Mohammedan peoples of Africa.
