The simple answer is NO the husband cannot stop the khulla, the applicant is the only one that can stop the khulla
There is no such thing as the fast track khulla, unless both parties agree that the marriage is over to The Sharia Council in writing in which case we can finalise within 4 weeks otherwise the whole process MUST be exhausted and that takes 3 to 4 months maximum from start to finish
The total fee at present is £400 but if you claim benefits then send us evidence and we can discount the fee for you, we also offer instalment plans for sisters who are struggling
No if the husband does not respond then we will still issue the khulla after the process is completed unless the applicant decides to stop it
Yes as a mediation meeting is only convened if both parties agree to it, there is no such thing as a forced mediation meeting
Yes as both are required for you to remarry should you need to, also there are some requisites islamically that are required which other legal systems do not cover and most imams want to see evidence of both before conducting a nikah
Can a husband demand the Mahr back from his wife when she is applying for a khulla?
The simple answer is NO according to the Holy Qur'an the husband MUST NOT demand any gift back from his wife, however if she willingly returns the gift or compensates the husband in return for a Talak then there is no problem with that. Qur'an Surah Al Baqarah Verse 229
The Link is here to check for yourself. https://quran.com/2/229
Yes any kind of intimacy will automatically cancel the khulla and invalidate it whether you inform us or not, but we do recommend that you let us know so that we can add the notes to your file immediately
No is the short answer, if the husband agrees then its called a Talaq not a khulla, the khulla is only issued when the husband does NOT issue a talaq or refuses to issue a talaq & a meeting is NOT compulsary to grant a khulla especially if there is any type of violence in the relationship, a meeting can only be arranged if both parties agree, if either party does not agree then a meeting cannot be forced. A Khulla can still be issued if the applicant decides NOT to have a meeting.
There is NO stipulation in Sharia as to how much the mahar should be, people often use the Mahar Fatimi as a bench mark which is around £2500 if it was paid today, you would take what was paid at that time and equate to its monitory worth today in the currency that is local to you or the place where the marraige is taking place.
Yes we can if there is a valid reason why both the groom and bride cannot be at the same location
Why is there no reason on the Khulla Notice, as other Sharia Councils do include this in order to allow the husband to respond, this usually happens because the applicant does not want to either share the full details of the breakdown of the marriage and or the applicant does not want to have a mediation meeting, the detailed reasoning will be discussed in a meeting if and when convened with possible solutions
We are not allowed to call the respondents for 2 reasons:
1. It is not a legal mode of communication
2. It can be seen as an unsolicited call due to Data Protection
We can call someone back if they themselves gave us permission to call them
