Islamic Divorce (Faskh or Khula)

Islam encourages marital life and advocates settling of differences in an amicable manner. Islam also acknowledges that the only acceptable resolution to a marital dispute may at times be a divorce. Islamic law outlines several methods of terminating a marriage, deriving its rules and guidelines from the Quran and Sunnah.

In the unfortunate event where the marriage is no longer workable, and the husband is unwilling to grant talaq then the wife may seek the termination of the marriage by initiating faskh or khula proceedings.
