Confidential. Compassionate. Sharia-Compliant.

We offer a fully online Islamic divorce service for sisters seeking a religious dissolution of marriage (Khul’a) or judicial annulment (Faskh). Our process upholds Islamic values while maintaining legal and ethical professionalism.

What is Khul’a?

Khul’a is an Islamic form of divorce initiated by the wife. This process allows a woman to end her marriage by returning her dowry (Mahr) or through mutually agreed compensation. It is rooted in the Sunnah, where the Prophet (peace be upon him) accepted the request of the wife of Thabit ibn Qais when she returned the Mahr given at marriage

Our Process

We offer two service levels:

Standard Khul’a Service – £380 (Duration: Up to 60 Days)

1. Application Submission

Submit your completed Khul’a application along with:

Copy of Islamic marriage certificate (Nikah)
Proof of identity and address
Reasons for seeking Khul’a
Valid contact details for the husband

2. Three Attempts to Contact the Husband

Once we receive your application, we will attempt to contact the husband by:

Phone call
Email
Tracked postal letter (if husband is in the UK)

3. Communication Timeline

Initial notice: Husband is given 30 days to respond
Second notice: If no reply, a second notice is issued with 15 days to respond
Final notice: If still no response, a third and final notice is sent with 15 days to respond

If after 60 days no response is received and contact cannot be made, we will offer the applicant the option to escalate the case to the Faskh (judicial annulment) process with no extra charge.

Faskh: Judicial Annulment

Faskh allows an Islamic authority to annul a marriage when the husband: refuses divorce, is unreachable, unreasonable, or when serious grounds exist. This option is pursued only after reasonable efforts to contact the husband are made, or immediately in urgent cases (e.g. abuse). There is no extra charge for this.

Expedited Khula Service – £500 (Faster Process – 30 Days)

1. Once submitted, we follow an accelerated contact schedule:

Initial notice: 10 days
Second notice: Additional 10 days
Final notice: Final 10 days

If no response is received within this 30-day timeframe, the file is sent to a panel of scholars for review and a decision on dissolution is made. An Islamic divorce certificate is issued upon approval.

Grounds for Khul’a or Faskh

Common acceptable reasons include:

Emotional, physical, or financial abuse
Neglect or abandonment
Marital incompatibility
Adultery or breach of trust
Religious incompatibility
Loss of marital rights

All cases are handled sensitively and evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

Your Rights Under Islamic Law

Islam allows women to seek a dignified exit from an unhappy or harmful marriage. Our process
ensures:

Confidentiality and safety
No forced reconciliation
Fair handling of Mahr
Access to qualified scholars

If reconciliation is possible and both parties agree, we offer optional counselling services.

Mahr (Dowry) Return

Typically, the wife is expected to return her Mahr in a Khul’a. However, the panel of scholars will review:

Length of marriage
Financial hardship
Presence of abuse or neglect
Husband’s financial responsibilities to children

Any decision regarding Mahr will hopefully be with a mutual understanding and reflect Islamic ethics to the best of our ability

Iddah (Waiting Period)

You may not remarry until the Iddah period is complete. This is:

3 menstrual cycles or 3 months (majority view)
1 cycle (minority view in Khul’a cases)
Until childbirth if pregnant
No Iddah is necessary if marriage was not consummated

Civil Divorce Notice

Our Islamic divorce service does not replace civil divorce. If you were legally married through a civil registry, you must pursue a civil divorce through the UK court system to be legally divorced.
