Khula is a form of divorce in Islamic law that allows a woman to initiate the dissolution of her marriage. It provides her with the right to seek separation from her husband, often requiring her to return her dowry or a portion of it. This process is typically facilitated through a court, where the woman presents her case for divorce. In Khula, the woman must express her desire for divorce and provide valid reasons, such as incompatibility or mistreatment. If the court finds her reasons acceptable, it grants the divorce, allowing her to move on with her life independently.
