TALAQ
In Islam, divorce is considered a last resort if a couple cannot continue their marriage. There are various steps that need to be taken to ensure that both parties are treated with dignity and respect. In Islam, marriage is regarded as a blessing, and it should be filled with compassion, mercy, and serenity.
KHULA
Khula is a solution in which the wife requests the intervention of a third party (Islamic Divorce Committee) to free her and terminate the marriage in return for the mahr dowry being repaid to the husband if he agrees.
FASKH
If the husband refuses consent to granting the talaq and the khula, Islamic law permits islamic judges and Imams (Islamic Divorce committee) who are expert in the fiqh of nikah and talaq to dissolve the marriage. This is known as Faskh (judicial dissolution). This can be applied without the consent of the husband as long as the shari principles are applicable once investigated by The Committee.
Shar’i grounds for Talaq/Divorce
- Where the wife suffers physical, financial, or emotional harm from the husband.
- Where the husband suffers certain physical defects, such as impotency.
- Adultery or infidelity.
- Where there is difference of religion or husband nullifies his Islam.
- Neglect from husband towards wife with regards to intimacy.
- Incompatibility which is unresolvable.
