Family Law
Khula Procedure in Islamabad & Rawalpindi
Khula is the way a wife can seek an end to her marriage through the family court. ICTV's legal advisor explains the steps and helps you prepare your case.
About Khula Procedure
Under Pakistani law a wife who wants to end her marriage can file a suit for dissolution of marriage on the basis of khula in the family court. The court first tries to bring about reconciliation. If that fails, the court can pass a decree of khula and decide related matters such as dower.
A khula case needs a properly drafted plaint, the right supporting documents and close attention to hearing dates. We prepare the case, tell you what to expect and keep you informed at every stage.

Common Questions
Short answers about khula procedure.
Can khula be granted without my husband's consent?
The family court can decree khula even if the husband does not agree, after it has tried reconciliation and the legal requirements are met. We explain how this applies in your case.
Do I lose my dower in khula?
Dower is often part of the discussion in khula, and courts look at the facts and the law. We explain how it may affect you before you file.
What happens to my children?
Custody, maintenance and visiting are decided separately, with the child's welfare as the main test. We can raise these in the same proceedings or separately.
How long does a khula case take?
Timing depends on the family court's schedule and on whether the other side contests. We give you a realistic estimate once we know your facts.
