Going back to ex-husband is not allowed just like that to make sure that people dont make marriage and divoce a joke. Jab dil kiya divorce de di jab dil kiya wapis mil gaye .. halala has to be UNINTENTIONAL .. if the second marriage breaks ON ITS OWN then a woman is allowed to go back to her first husband if she wants.
I dont find any women oppression in it, in fact a woman is allowed to restart her life without any lingering options of her past and also, if a man wants his wife back and repents it serves as an example for the society to not take divorce easily.
And also, anyone who does halala with an intention of getting divorced is wrong, might as well just get remarried to the first husband bcz this halala is totally useless.
