Query

[edit]

Khula (reward for obtaining divorce) is the money or something else given by a women to a man to let her go. This is because a women cannot obtain divorce without the consent of her husband in Islamic jurisprudence[1]. This is a particular problem in such countries as Pakistan, Iran, and other Islamic nations where there are sharia courts in charge of marriage laws with Islamic clergy in control. Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khula"


With reference to the above article on Khula, I would like to inform my unknown friend who has written the article and states that Khula is a particular problem in some countries that it is not a problem but a solution to the women to get divorce from their husbands without any hassles. It is a very simple procedure wherein women can give her gifts (given by husband) back to him or keep with herself based on the mutual understanding between a couple. It is a peaceful process and a right given to women in Islam.

Editing, NPOV, and ongoing vandalism

[edit]

I have removed the following text from the article. I couldn't revert because the offending text has been in place for numerous edits so there was no clean revert point.

"EDIT------WHOEVER PUT THE INFORMATION ABOUT THE LENGTH OF TIME FOR A WOMANS IDDAH ON THIS ARTICLE WAS INCORRECT....HERE IS PROOF AND THE TRUTH,“And divorced women shall wait (as regards their marriage) for three menstrual periods” [al-Baqarah 2:228] ALSO A KHULA DOVORCE IS WHERE THE WOMAN GOVES BACK HER MAHR MONEY......Subhanallah , Some things in this article are true and some are not . I feel very angry as a muslim that someone put incorrect information in here without having the knowledge to do so. Anyone who reads this BEWARE because there are some incorrect descriptions given within this article and it would be of great benefit for anyone seeking knowledge about Khula to go to a more reliable source."

Your contribution is encouraged, and if you have information to add to fill in details missing from the article or to balance perspective, you should make them. But all edits to the article should be wikified, meaning written in Wikipedia language and format.

If instead you have metacommentary to make, it must be made here, on the Talk page. Interjections like this are considered vandalism. That being said, this page is not for discussion on the subject matter -- it's for discussion of the article. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Talk_page_guidelines

Buying a divorce

[edit]

Apparently, in several Islamic countries it is common for the wife to pay "consideration" for a divorce, and may even bargain for her "release". (See Wife selling#Islam.) I'm not sure how prevalent this practice still is, but it would be good to provide more information about it in the article. Kaldari (talk) 19:01, 21 October 2012 (UTC) divorce is not bought rather wife returns some of money that husband had paid to her as in the quran verse. she does not have to give more money than husband have paid to her.[reply]

DIVORCE IS TWICE THEN EITHER KEEPING IN RECOGNIZED MANNER OR RELIESING IN KINDNESS; AND DO NOT TAKE BACK FROM WHAT YOU HAVE GIVEN TO THEM (I.E. TO WOMEN) EXCEPT THAT THEY (BOTH SPOUSES) FEAR THAT THEY WILL NOT REMAIN IN THE LIMITS OF GOD; THEN IF YOU (JUDGE OR WHO ISSUES DIVORCE) FEAR THAT THEY WILL NOT REMAIN IN THE LIMITS OF GOD THEN THERE IS NO BLAME ON THEM BY WHICH SHE RANSOMS HER. THESE ARE THE LIMITS OF GOD DO NOT CROSS THEM (Al-Quran 2:229) similarly you can see hadith of thabit bin qais. both khula with mutual consideration or by the order of court are mentioned.

KhulaKhul'Khul' (or more precisely Khulʿ, but this distinction is too technical for an article name) is the standard English spelling which corresponds to the Arabic term, as can be seen in standard references such as Brill Encyclopedia of Islam [1] and The Oxford Encyclopedia of the Islamic World [2] (quote: "This form of divorce, called khulʿ...") and Medieval Islamic Civilization: An Encyclopedia by Routledge [3]. Khula appears to be a regional variant used mostly in South Asia. Eperoton (talk) 22:47, 9 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:MOSAR, Khul' (basic transliteration) is preferred in article titles over Khulʿ (strict transliteration). I think that's a good proposal, because there is no standard character to transliterate the last letter in Khulʿ. Different sources use different characters to render the Arabic letter ع.

Observation

[edit]

I wish to observe that the content of this article that states there is no direct verse of the holy Quran should be qualified or reconsidered. In my opinion Q2 verse 229 gives insight on how parties to the marriage in islam could resolve it by khula. the verse clearly states that a wife can give ransom to untie herself from the marital union. I want the viewers and wikipedia team to consider written scholarly works on this issue.
