This research is included in qualitative research by pointing to field research. That is research which focuses more on the results of data collection to informants who have been determined, the data sources used are primary and secondary data using qualitative data analysis. The results of the study show that divorce practices have taken place in Kuala Baru Subdistrict only through the village government, and rarely come to court. Then, the understanding of the Kuala Baru people about the giving of iddah is still very minimal, so they think that if they are divorced there are no rights and obligations of husband and wife. Therefore, based on the provisions of Islamic law the custom that occurs in the Kuala Baru community about the absence of a living iddah for a wife who is denied by raj'i is very contrary to Islamic law, even al-'urf also rejects the habits of the Kuala Baru community, and also the benefit is very detrimental to women, because their rights are not fulfilled.
