There are broadly two methods under which a wife can claim divorce. One is Talaq-e-Tafweez and the other is Talaq-e-Khula. Under Tafweez, the husband ‘may’ delegate his power to give talaq to his wife or any third party. This right has to be in the form of a contract with conditions like ‘if a man marries again’ then there can be a divorce, etc. But a contract will not be without conditions or be absolute. The second one is Khula. This is a divorce which is at the ‘request’ of the wife. In this case, the woman has to make an offer of divorce to the man. The man must accept the offer with consideration, which often means the woman, has to give back the Meher taken during marriage. After these two steps, a Khula is granted. The woman often approaches a Qazi court as well to demand a Khula. There needs to be an execution of a Khulanama.
