Khul' is the separation of a husband from his wife in exchange for compensation, and it is permissible according to the Qur'an, , and scholarly consensus. The five legal rulings apply to it: it is disliked when the spouses are in harmony, it is forbidden and invalid if the husband pressures her to ransom herself, and it is permissible for the woman if she dislikes her husband's character or fears committing a sin by neglecting his rights. If they agree upon a known compensation to be paid by the woman, then that is permissible. It is not permissible to resort to the courts to reclaim a right that the wife agreed to relinquish in exchange for khul'.
