عدالتى خلع كى حقيقت اورحكم
Judicial Khul‘: Facts and Ruling
Abstract
This paper discusses the issue of Khul‘a through Courts. Termination of marriage by way of Talaq or Khula is the unanimously recognized way of the dissolution of marriage and continuously being practiced since the early days of Islam till date. Normally, extra judicial divorce is preferred in Islam to save the spouses from unnecessary litigations. Section 10(4) of the Family Court Act, 1964 empowers a Family Courts for dissolution of marriage, if reconciliation fails. This paper discusses opinion of various Schools of thought whether Court, according to Shariah, is empowered to grant such decree and if granted, what will be its ampacts. Federal Shariat Court examined the impugned provision of law and found it not repugnant to the injunctions of Islam and considered it as one Talaq Bain. The Court observed that there is no specific verse or authentic Hadith that provides a bar to the exercise of jurisdiction by a competent court to decree the case of Khul‘a agitated before him by wife, after reconciliation fails. The August Supreme Court of Pakistan considerd separation by way of Khul‘a as Fasakh not Talaq.
At present the situation is that the last Judgment delivered by the august Supreme Court of Pakistan holds the field and the lower courts decide the cases following the precedent set by the Supreme Court in similar cases.
