If the wife waives her rights, or some of them, in exchange for a divorce, there is no objection to that, and it is considered a khul‘. Seeking divorce without a legitimate shar‘i justification is prohibited. Divorce is permissible if there is a reason for it, and it is disliked if there is no reason. The questioner is advised to stop thinking about the girl who rejected him, and to proceed with marrying a girl of religious commitment and good character.
