Answer
Based on official Jordanian legal texts
Under Jordanian law, divorce (talaq) is the termination of a valid marriage either by the husband's unilateral pronouncement or by a court ruling, as regulated by the Personal Status Law No. 15 of 2019. Article 80 provides that a husband has the capacity to divorce only if he is of legal responsibility, sound mind, and acting by choice, so the divorce of someone who has lost awareness or is coerced does not take effect. Article 81 adds that talaq applies to the wife only when she is in a valid marriage and not already in the ʿidda of a prior divorce.
Under Article 82 the husband holds three divorces, each taking effect separately. Articles 83 and 84 set out the form: talaq occurs through explicit wording without need for intent, through writing where intent exists, and through the known signs of a mute person.
The default rule under Article 91 is that every talaq is revocable, allowing the husband to take his wife back during the ʿidda, unless it completes the third divorce, occurs before consummation, is made for consideration, or is expressly stated to be irrevocable. Article 97 further obliges the husband to register the divorce before the Sharia Court, since registration is what gives the divorce its official effect and protects both parties' rights.
Divorce is, in essence, an exceptional means of ending the marital bond once its continuation becomes impossible, and it does not by itself extinguish financial rights such as the deferred dowry, ʿidda maintenance, and child support.
This is a general explanation based on Jordanian Personal Status Law and does not replace advice from a qualified lawyer in a specific dispute.
