There is no Iddat when marriage is not consummated

When there is Nikah between spouses but marriage is not consummated then there is no Iddat in case of divorce. In normal circumstances when there is Nikah and marriage is consummated, there is a period of 90 days called iddat in case of divorce.

In normal circumstances when a husband pronounces divorce to the wife, she has to wait for 90 days for the completion of divorce. In these 90 days parties mutually have right to reconcile the divorce. This procedure is enacted in Pakistan legal system because of which divorce procedure takes at least 90 days for completion.

On the other hand when wife is divorced before consummation of marriage then there is no Iddat. Divorce Certificate can be issued within one day on the date of filing.
