Halala
......

The word "Halala" has not been used in Quran. However, it
seems to have been derived from the ward "halal"(Lawful)

It means, a process in which a definitely divorced lady 

can again become halal (lawful)  for her Husband

Wife who, as per Sharia Law is halal (lawful) for her husband
becomes haram (unlawful), due to one of the following reasons:

(1) Husband may have exercised his one of the Two Rights
of Divorce, but the legal period (Eddat) of his wife expired; and

husband did not reconcile with her during or on the
expiry of her legal period (Eddat)

(2) Husband exercised his one of the Two rights of divorce,
but reconciled with her during or on the expiry of legal period

But after some time, due to any reason, again (Second and
last Time divorced her; and

did NOT reconcile with her during or on the expiry of legal period.

(3) Husband had exercised his TWO rights of Divorce and
during or before the expiry of legal period

had reconciled twice with wife, BUT AGAIN DIVORCES HER.

BECUASE
(1)
(1) In two times Divorce with legal period, Husband has only
two choices:

Retain wife honourably OR Release her honourably
(2)
Divorce is(permissible) Twice (i.e. Husband can only divorce a wife
twice, there is no provision of the Third one)

In any of the above mentioned three conditions, the divorce
becomes effective and wife become haram(unlawful) for Husband

Now again Husband can only marry this lady, if she marries someone else

and the other husband divorces her, and after divorce becomes effecitve
this lady can become lawful(halal) to her First Husband

This process is called "Halala".
