What Is Khula (Judicial Divorce)?
Khula, or judicial divorce, allows a Muslim woman to dissolve her marriage without her husband’s consent. It is a legal and Islamic right granted to women to seek divorce when the husband refuses to do so. In Pakistan, the Khula process requires filing a case in the Family Court to request the dissolution of marriage.
If you are unsure about obtaining a divorce certificate, our expert services can guide you through the process, ensuring you understand your rights and responsibilities at every stage.
We provide reliable legal assistance for resolving matrimonial disputes and securing a Khula Certificate. Following the proper legal procedures is essential, as failure to do so may result in serious issues, such as complications with Mehr, maintenance, or bigamy claims.
Our experienced marriage and divorce lawyers offer comprehensive legal support worldwide for overseas Pakistanis. Alongside the divorce decree, women must apply for a Khula Certificate, also referred to as a NADRA Divorce Certificate.
Grounds for Seeking Khula in Pakistan
Under the Dissolution of Muslim Marriages Act of 1961, a woman may apply for Khula based on several grounds:
- Husband’s absence for four years.
- Failure to provide for the family for two years.
- Remarriage by the husband without legal compliance.
- Imprisonment for seven years.
- Neglect of marital duties for three years.
- Chronic illness or prolonged infertility.
- Mental illness lasts two years.
- Cruel treatment or abuse by the husband.
- Any other legitimate reason acknowledged under Muslim law.
Khula Procedure in Pakistan
When a woman files for Khula, she may have to forfeit her dower (Mehr) if it remains unpaid. However, gifts or bridal items from the husband are not always subject to return. Based on the case details, the Family Court determines what, if anything, needs to be repaid.
The court will issue a decree for Khula, directing the Union Council or Arbitration Council to attempt reconciliation within 30 days. If reconciliation fails, the Khula decree becomes final after 90 days. The decree also serves as a notice of talaq, and the Khula is formalized at the end of the Iddat period.
