Apply For An Islamic Divorce
In Islam, men and women can ask for a divorce. Men can start a divorce through talaq. Women can start a divorce through different procedures. More frequently, the process usually involves a Khula application. We offer a fixed fee service.
What is Khula? It is an Islamic divorce application requested by the wife. With this application, a Sharia Council will grant you a divorce. In general, it involves the wife repaying all, or part of, her Mehr.
How much does it cost? Our Khula Divorce Package is £600 (+ VAT). Please note there is also a £250 application fee payable to the Shariah Council.
Do I need my husband’s permission to apply for Khula? You do not need your husband’s permission to apply for a Khula. Our team have significant experience in obtaining khula for our clients and can support you through the process.
