Wifeโ€™s Right of Divorce ย Khulla if husband refused to give divorce to wife.

A wife can dissolve herย marriageย unilaterally only if the right ofย divorceย hasย been unconditionally delegated to her by theย husbandย in theย marriageย contract or theย nikahnama. If such right ofย divorceย is not delegated then inย such circumstances wife can dissolve herย marriageย by apply for Khula fromย the Family Courts of Law, which is also known as dissolution of marriage byย way of judicial divorce.

Therefore if the wife is not delegated the right of Divorce in her Nikahnama then she would need to apply for Khula. Khula, which literallyย means โ€˜untying the knotโ€™, is the dissolution of marriage initiated by the wifeย and is granted by the court. To apply for Khula the wife would need to file aย suit for Khula in the Family Court under the West Pakistan Family Courtsย Ordinance, on the grounds that she feels she can no longer live with herย husband โ€œwithin the limits prescribed by Allahโ€™ and such a statement on oathย made in her suit would be sufficient to establish her case for Khula.

It is also called filling a suit for dissolution of marriage in the court.
