This study examines the status of women's rights in khula under both Sharia law and Pakistani statutory law, highlighting its legal development, procedural framework, and implementation challenges. Although khula is recognized in Islamic law as a legitimate form of divorce, initiated by the wife, typically involving the return of mahr, the issue of husband's consent and procedural obstacles have frequently created confusion and impediments in its execution. The right of a woman to seek separation through khula is a crucial legal and religious provision in Islamic Jurisprudence, and its application within Pakistan's legal system reflects ongoing efforts to balance religious principles with contemporary concepts of gender justice.
