Halala is a very contentious topic, which has been at the overt concern of many. It's an injuction that has been misused over and over again.
I see many posing love as the ideal back-up for Aaliya refusing halala, or even the idea that it is pre-planned goes against what's a set law for muslims. If the CV's never planned to properly carry through on Halala, they should've never made Zain divorce Aaliya three times. That was him closing the door on his relation and the supposed 'love'; the same relation which is suppose to be the most scared and pious bond between two people in Islam.
I also agree that pre-planning a nikkah for a short period of time, in order to go back to the previous husband is wrong. It's simply Zina. I have no argument there because it reduces the women to the status of a plaything who can be discarded through stupid and rapid-fire utterances of Talaaq and brought back to the previous husband after a one-night stand with a stranger.
However what most people are not understanding is that halala was made with the intention to prevent mockery of the sacred institution of marriage and the rights of women, where the man divorces his wife and marries her again and again. One cannot possibly know the predicament a woman goes through when expriencing the plight of divorce. In Islam, the divorce is the most unwanted and taboo subject, and one of Allah's most disliked topics. It is usually women who are subjected to the brunt of after-effects. Thus, Halala introduces the same pain or atleast thereby a sense of equivalent pain to the man, when his ex-wife is remarried to another man. It's a reprimand to the man to remind him of the wrong he has done, and in some way repaying the sufferage he caused to his wife whom he divorced. It is also a reminder to not take divorce lightly.
The idea of Aaliya and Zain getting together without Aaliya being married to another person is unvalid. Similarily, the pre-planned Halala is unvalid. Both relationships will be illegitimate in the end.
