The answer

Before khulʿ, the wife is under the legal authority of her husband, and she must remain in his home; she is not permitted to leave except with his permission. After khulʿ, which is an irrevocable divorce (ṭalāq bā’in), the wife may reside in the husband's home under certain conditions. A woman is not permitted to request khulʿ unless there is a legitimate Sharʿī justification.
