Process Of Filling Khula/Faskh-e-Nikah, Divorce In Islam

If a Muslim woman has abusive husband and unable to coup and manage the situation, Islam are more supportive to Muslim women than a man in the situation of domestic violence and have short temper husband and situation is has moved further beyond and better to release yourself from stress by filing Khula/Faskh.

Islam is not a burden or forced to take others in control, but gives them equal rights. Allah has made Zulum a haram action, either on self or on others. It’s a sin that has severe punishment in Akhirah. Some Muslim men consider a wife as a property, do what ever he can; it’s a misconception among illiterate men.

The Prophet ﷺ said,

“Best among you is one who is best to his wife, and I am best among you in my dealings with my wives.” Majah 1977

Sometimes life becomes unfortunate, especially, when arranged marriage turns into a nightmare. A husband turns out to be over protective, abusive and assaulting; abusing, physical and verbally, not loving, spreading fear at home that a sister lives a life in fear, doesn’t know what to do.

There are numerous factors that a Muslim woman takes a step to end the relationship. It is not only abuse; it could be financial, sexual, mental illness, genetically short temper and causing domestic violence Etc.

Back in Muslim countries, as it was explained in another article, that Khula systems, gets delayed and because of that causes, many damage to Muslim lives and do not get mentally relief on time and keep appearing in trials and unable to move on to her life.

In foreign countries, the Muslim Judge/Mufti work as mediator to workout between parties, and if the things do not work out, simply the “Khula Certificate” is issued to the plaintiff. Please note, Islamic Khula Divorce is not civil family court divorce. Muslims follow Islamic Shariah Law, based on Quran and Sunnah. We help and support and provide paralegal services to file petition in local Family Court or contact for consultation, as a Muslim we support and help in follow-up with couple to avoid further damages in relation going thru trials and proceedings, rather settle with peace resolving through mediator.

What is Faskh Nikah

Faskh Nikah is a legal term in Islamic law (Shariah) referring to the annulment or dissolution of a marriage by a judicial authority or a religious body. It is different from divorce, as it is generally initiated by the wife or an Islamic court rather than the husband.

Faskh can be granted under specific circumstances, such as:

1. Harm or abuse: If the wife faces physical, emotional, or financial harm from the husband, she may seek Faskh.

2. Failure to maintain: If the husband fails to provide the agreed-upon maintenance (Nafaqah), the wife can request Faskh.

3. Inability of the husband to fulfill marital obligations: This could include failure to provide sexual intimacy, neglect, or being absent for a long period without any valid reason.

4. Serious incompatibility: This could be issues like a lack of compatibility, abuse, or any other significant challenges that make the marriage unworkable.

In the case of Faskh, the marriage is dissolved by a religious court or authority, and the wife does not need the husband’s consent for this dissolution.

It is important to note that Faskh does not imply the same process or conditions as divorce, as divorce (Talaq) is usually initiated by the husband, while Faskh is the annulment of the marriage by a court or authority due to specific circumstances.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Seek Religious Guidance
   Contact your local imam or Islamic center. Khula typically requires approval from an Islamic scholar or a Shariah council. The wife usually returns her mahr (dowry) in exchange for the husband’s consent to divorce.

2. File a Civil Divorce
   A religious divorce alone is not legally recognized in the U.S. You must file for a no-fault civil divorce in your state’s family court to end the marriage legally. State laws vary, so consult a family law attorney for proper filing procedures.

3. Document the Khula
   Once the religious process is completed, get a written confirmation of the khula from the mosque or Shariah board. This can help with religious record-keeping and future personal matters like remarriage.

4. Finalize Both Processes
   Only when both the religious khula and civil divorce are finalized is the marriage considered completely dissolved in both Islamic and legal terms.

Tips:

• Civil courts do not enforce mahr or khula terms, so resolve those through religious mediation.

• Make sure to keep all documentation for personal and legal reference.

• Legal aid and Muslim family services may help with both processes.

Always consult both a family law attorney and a qualified Islamic authority to ensure your rights and obligations are fully met.
