Is the wife entitled to seek khul' if her husband severs ties of kinship, does not provide for her, wants to prevent her from working, is suspected of using hashish, slandered her honor, and expelled her from the home, especially since she does not wish to return to him after an attempt at reconciliation? And how is khul' carried out if the mahr was 30,000 and the husband added 10,000 from his own money? And is it better for her to continue her case based on harm or to request khul'?
Issues involving disputes and contentions are not resolved by a fatwa; rather, they are referred to the Shariah court, as it is the authority with jurisdiction. Khula‘ (divorce at the instance of the wife) is the separation of a husband from his wife in return for compensation, and it is permissible if she dislikes him and fears that she will not be able to fulfill his rights.
