طلاق دادن • (talâq dâdan)

In traditional Islamic law, (talâq) refers specifically to the man's divorce of his wife (a male prerogative), while more complicated female-initiated types of divorces are (xol') and (fasx). Therefore, the active compound verbs (talâq dâdan) and (talâq goftan) referred specifically to the man "giving" or "saying" the (talâq) divorce to his wife, while the passive verb (talâq gereftan) refers to the woman "receiving" the (talâq) divorce. These verbs would not have been used for female-initiated types of divorces, since they were not considered to be (talâq).
In modern Iran, (talâq) means "divorce" in general, and the verb (talâq gereftan) can now be used for both men and women. However, (talâq dâdan) and (talâq goftan) still refer specifically to the men divorcing his wife.
