Dear Questioner,

- Understanding Khula and Financial Dependency

Khula is an Islamic divorce process that allows a wife to initiate the dissolution of her marriage, often requiring her to return her dowry (mahr) as part of the agreement.

Here’s a simplified guide for wives, especially those financially dependent on their husbands:

1. Know Your Rights: Khula recognizes a woman’s right to seek divorce if her marriage is unsatisfactory.

2. Legal Framework: Familiarize yourself with the local laws governing khula. Islamic family law courts typically handle these cases.

3. Seek Legal Help: If financially dependent, look for free or subsidized legal aid services that assist women. NGOs focusing on women's rights may also provide resources or pro bono lawyers.

4. Gather Evidence: Collect documentation that supports your case for divorce, such as proof of marital issues or attempts to gain financial independence.

5. File for Khula: Prepare a petition including personal details, marriage information, reasons for khula, and supporting evidence, and submit it to the relevant court.

6. Mediation and Hearing: Courts often encourage mediation before hearings. If mediation fails, both parties will present their cases during a court hearing.

7. Await the Decision: The court will review the evidence and decide on the khula petition. If granted, the marriage is officially dissolved.

Filing for khula can be challenging, especially with financial dependency, but understanding your rights and accessing available support can facilitate the process.

She cannot file for *khula* (divorce initiated by the wife). She can file for a dissolution of marriage (*tafriq*).

Hi,

Good afternoon!

If your husband is willing to cooperate, you might be able to negotiate a lower consideration for Khula.

If your husband is financially stable, you might be able to request temporary financial support from him during the divorce proceedings.

Gather any relevant documents, such as your marriage certificate, financial records, and any evidence of your financial dependence.

Dear Questioner,

The wife can request a divorce, in which case she is not entitled to any expenses from the husband.
