If you are a woman seeking to end your marriage, Khula through the Family Court is your legal right. We prepare, file and pursue your case to a dissolution decree.
Khula is the right of a wife to seek dissolution of her marriage through the Family Court when she no longer wishes to continue the marriage. Unlike Talaq, Khula does not require the husband’s consent, the court can grant dissolution once it is satisfied that the spouses cannot live together within the limits prescribed by law. We handle the entire process with sensitivity and discretion.
Khula is dealt with under Section 8 of the Muslim Family Laws Ordinance, 1961, read with the West Pakistan Family Courts Act, 1964. A wife files a suit for dissolution of marriage, and the court decides after reconciliation efforts fail. Common circumstances include incompatibility, cruelty or abuse, desertion or prolonged absence, failure to maintain, or simply an irretrievable breakdown of the marriage.
When Khula is granted, the wife typically returns or forgoes her Haq Mehr (dower) as consideration for the dissolution. We advise you clearly on how this applies to your case before you proceed.
Many Khula cases involve children and financial claims. We can pursue custody, maintenance for you and your children, and recovery of dowry articles together with your Khula, so all family matters are resolved efficiently.
We assess your circumstances, explain your rights and the likely timeline, and plan your case.
We draft and file your Khula suit in the appropriate Family Court and manage all paperwork.
We represent you through reconciliation and hearings until the court is satisfied dissolution is warranted.
The court grants the Khula decree, which we register with the Union Council to obtain your NADRA certificate.
No. Khula is granted by the Family Court and does not require the husband’s consent. The court can dissolve the marriage even if he contests, once it concludes the parties cannot live together within legal limits.
In most Khula cases the wife returns or forgoes the dower received. The exact position depends on the facts and what was actually paid. We advise you precisely before filing.
