However, it should remain clear that divorcing a woman three times in one go is against the clear teachings of the Qur an. For the proper organization of the family, Islam has placed upon the husband the responsibility and the authority to head the family structure. In such a situation, Islam allows the state to interfere and stop, and even punish, the husband. Mankind has generally been refused and deprived of happiness through the exploitation of those in authority. It has generally not been the nature of the law of a society but the corruption of the individuals implementing that law which has caused pain and suffering of the weak.
Islamic teachings are no exception.
The corrupt can even use these divine teachings for their own advantage. In such situations, it is the duty of the state authorities to deal with these people with an iron hand. However, as we are aware of the fact that even the most efficient of systems has never been able to bring all its criminals to justice. It is because of this inherent weakness of human systems that Islam has reminded those who misuse their authority that even if they escape justice in the present life, they shall have to face the dire consequences of their corruption and exploitation in the life hereafter. Thus a man who misuses the authority that the Qur an has bestowed upon him for the proper functioning of the family, can and should be punished by the state.
