Can a Muslim couple get a mutual divorce without agreeing on financial issues?

Dear Sir/Madam,

Is it possible for a Muslim couple to obtain a mutually agreed divorce without agreeing on the financial consequences, meaning getting a divorce certificate first and the wife later filing a case for child support?

In such cases, the divorce certificate can be obtained, and later, either party, including the wife, can file a case for child support if needed.

Hi Questioner,

Yes, divorce can be attested between Muslims without the need to agree on the financial aspects.

In such cases, if no payment of child support is made by the husband after the divorce, the wife can sue the ex-husband and obtain a court order for a child support certificate.

For more information, please contact us on WhatsApp.

Yes, it is permissible for you to agree on a divorce in writing without agreeing on the wife’s financial rights in writing.

It is permissible to demand them judicially, taking into account the legal periods later if they are not agreed upon in writing.
