Ruling 2546 — Divorce

The divorce of a wife who is not fond of her husband and has an aversion to him, and gives him her dowry (mahr) or some of her other property so that he divorces her, is known as a ‘khulʿ’ divorce. In a khulʿ divorce, it is a requirement that the wife’s aversion to her husband be at such a level that it is a threat to her fulfilling her marital duties.
