Khula vs Talaq in Islam: What is the difference between them? | The Times of India

As per Islamic laws, a couple can obtain a divorce from each other either by the process of ‘Talaq’ or ‘Khula’. However, these are two different procedures. ‘Khula’ refers to the right of a Muslim woman to give a divorce to her husband unilaterally, according to reports. A Muslim woman is given this power to safeguard her rights. For initiating a Khula, a married Muslim woman needs to formally request a court for it by citing a valid reason like neglect or incompatibility with her husband. There are also chances for a woman to return the ‘Mehr’ or have a financial settlement with the husband to end their marriage.

After a ‘Khula’ is finalised, the husband has to financially support their child’s education and other needs.

It is noted that Sania and Shoaib were married in 2010 and they were blessed with a son, named Izaah Mirza Mallik, in 2018.
