What is khula?

In Islam, khula is a legal term that refers to a form of divorce which is initiated by the wife, wherein she seeks a separation from her husband. Unlike talak, which is taken by a husband, khula provides the woman with the ability to divorce her husband, giving them equal rights. A woman can take khula for reasons like incompatibility or any valid reason recognised by Islamic law. It is a legitimate way for a Muslim woman to dissolve her marriage.
