The Supreme Court has issued a significant ruling regarding Khula and said that without concerned woman\u2019s consent, husband cannot leave his wife through Khula, a legal right in Islam that allows a married woman to obtain a divorce from her husband.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SC Justice Shahid Waheed authored the 15-page verdict, which stated that converting a petition seeking dissolution of marriage into Khula without the woman\u2019s consent is illegal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The court held that a judge cannot unilaterally opt for Khula on behalf of a woman where cruelty or abuse has not been proven. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the verdict, Khula and dissolution of marriage under the law are distinct legal paths with different financial consequences. A woman cannot be deprived of her Haq-e-Mehr through Khula. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Supreme Court upheld the dissolution of the marriages of two women on the grounds of Shiqaq (irreconcilable discord) rather than Khula. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The SC judge observed that severe and persistent marital discord can constitute grounds for Shiqaq if reconciliation efforts fail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The court recognized Shiqaq as a ground for dissolution under Muslim law and held that a marriage can be dissolved under Section 2(ix). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The verdict clarified that minor quarrels, incompatibility of temperament or temporary separation are insufficient to establish Shiqaq. Courts must determine whether the marital discord is genuine, severe and persistent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The court also held that meaningful efforts at reconciliation must fail before a marriage is dissolved on the grounds of Shiqaq. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Supreme Court ruled that dissolution of marriage on the grounds of Shiqaq is not conditional on the woman waiving or returning her Haq-e-Mehr. The SC set side directions requiring the women to return or waive their dower under Khula were set aside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The court upheld rulings concerning maintenance and dowry items in both cases. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The verdict further stated that labeling a husband as an oppressor without proving acts of cruelty is improper, stressing that the legal rights, honor, and dignity of both parties must be protected in family cases. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
