If a wife requests a divorce due to an injustice inflicted upon her by her husband, she may refer the matter to the judiciary to divorce her from him if his harm to her is proven. In this case, she is entitled to her Mahr (dowry) and all rights of a divorced woman. However, if she requests a divorce for reasons other than harm, such as disliking him, she may seek ' (divorce at the wife's instance) in exchange for her Mahr or a portion of it, according to their agreement.
