Khula
Khula is when a married woman initiates divorce proceedings. This can be done for valid reasons such as immoral behaviour, mistreatment from the husband, or if he doesn’t provide maintenance.
However, this decision should be given serious consideration – a woman is advised to abstain from seeking khula on baseless reasons and to exert necessarily efforts to maintain a harmonious and peaceful relation with her spouse with mutual respect and love. In the unfortunate case that the marriage becomes irreconcilable and the husband doesn’t issue talaq, she may apply for Khula.
