Rule Nisi is the "Order to Show Cause". Meaning that the ruling is absolute unless the party to whom it applies can show cause why it should not apply.

Is rule nisi legal?

If the question is about whether or not "Rule Nisi" is legal, yes. Rule Nisi (pronounced "nigh-sigh") is a petition that orders an individual in a legal action to appear in court to explain why said individual has not been keeping up what they were ordered to do. I have only seen it in divorce cases where one ex-spouse was ordered to pay something or give something to the other ex-spouse but they did not. So the nisi is issued to call the offending spouse into court to explain him or her self. A "rule nisi" is a name given to a court ruling, order, decree or judgment to indicate that it that adjudication is to stand as valid valid and operative unless the person affected by that adjudication appears before the court to show cause against it. It is different from the usual order to show cause. The usual one states that something will be done in the future unless the party that does not want that to be done appears in court to show cause why it should not be done. In a rule nisi, the "something" is already taken but the party has an opportunity to argue against it.

Why is there a six month waiting period in Oklahoma to remarry after a divorce and why is the only exception for this law that you can remarry your spouse before the six months has passed?

The six month waiting waiting period is called the nisi period. Reconciliation with one's spouse is not an exception to the rule it a reason for the rule. A divorce decree nisi isn't final until the nisi period has expired. There are legal consequences for certain events that may occur during the nisi period. Its purpose is to give the parties a chance to change their minds before the divorce becomes final or/and for completion of certain arrangements pursuant to the divorce decree.In the case of a reconciliation, the parties can file a motion to dismiss and the judgment will be extinguished. There have been many cases in which this happened. A party cannot remarry during the NISI period and there are important aspects regarding inheritance in the event of death.At the end of the nisi period the judgment automatically becomes final and the marriage is legally dissolved. If one party dies during the nisi period the other inherits as the surviving spouse. The nisi period has its roots in English Common Law.
