Procedure of Khula in Pakistan – Legal Assistance by Advocate in Lahore

Khula is the legal right of a Muslim wife in Pakistan to seek divorce from her husband through the Family Court if reconciliation is not possible. At Advocate in Lahore, we provide expert legal support to guide women through the Khula process in Pakistan smoothly. The procedure begins with the wife filing a Khula petition in the Family Court, citing valid reasons for seeking divorce, such as mistreatment, incompatibility, or lack of financial support. The court then issues a notice to the husband and attempts reconciliation. If reconciliation efforts fail, the court grants a Khula decree, legally dissolving the marriage. After obtaining the decree, the wife must submit a notice to the Union Council, which completes the process and issues a Divorce Effectiveness Certificate. In most cases, the wife may be required to return her Haq Mehr (dower) or any other agreed settlement. Our legal team at Advocate in Lahore ensures that all formalities are handled professionally, protecting women's rights and interests throughout the process.
