Khula is the right of a Muslim wife to seek dissolution of her marriage. Advocate Maryam Fatima provides expert guidance.
Khula is a wife-initiated divorce under Muslim personal law. The wife seeks dissolution by offering to return her Mahr. If the husband consents, divorce takes effect. If he refuses, the wife can approach the Family Court for Faskh under the Dissolution of Muslim Marriages Act 1939.
Step 1: Wife expresses desire for divorce and offers to return Mahr. Step 2: Negotiation with husband. Step 3: If husband refuses, file application before Family Court. Step 4: Court examines grounds and issues decree. Advocate Maryam Fatima handles each step with sensitivity and legal expertise.
How long does Khula take? If husband consents: weeks. With court: 3-6 months.
Do I need to return full Mahr? Not necessarily. Amount can be negotiated.
