Khula Lawyer in Karachi
Khula suits in the Family Court for women seeking to end a marriage, with clear guidance at every stage.
In brief
Khula allows a wife to seek dissolution of her marriage through the Family Court. Under section 10 of the Family Courts Act 1964, if reconciliation fails at the pre-trial stage, the court can pass a decree for dissolution on the basis of khula.
The court may address the return of dower received, and related claims such as maintenance, dowry articles and custody can be considered. We explain each of these before you file.
Women seeking to end their marriage where the husband will not divorce, including overseas women.

Questions clients ask
How long does khula take?
It can move relatively quickly compared with other litigation, but timing depends on service of notice, court schedule and linked claims.
Does the husband need to agree?
No, the court can decree khula even if he refuses, once reconciliation fails.
Will I lose my mehr?
The court may address dower you have received as part of the decree. Your position depends on your facts, so take advice first.
