What Is Khula (Judicial Divorce)?
Khula is a judicial divorce initiated by a Muslim woman who wishes to end her marriage without her husband’s consent. This process is filed in the Family Court, and once the Khula decree is issued, the Union Council prepares the Khula Certificate (NADRA Divorce Certificate).
Khula is a legal and Islamic right given to Muslim women when the husband refuses to give Talaq or when the marriage becomes harmful or unbearable.
At M.A Law Associate, we assist women from Pakistan and overseas countries in obtaining:
-
Khula Decree from Family Court
-
Khula Certificate (Union Council / NADRA)
-
Divorce Decree
-
Judicial Divorce Documentation
We also guide clients regarding their legal rights, responsibilities, maintenance, guardianship, and property matters.
Why You Need a Khula Certificate?
After Khula is granted by the Family Court, a Khula Certificate from the Union Council is essential for:
-
NADRA divorce record
-
Remarriage
-
Immigration cases
-
Embassy requirements
-
Legal verification in Pakistan and abroad
Not obtaining the certificate can cause issues such as bigamy claims, maintenance complications, or legal disputes.

Under the Dissolution of Muslim Marriages Act 1961, a woman may file for Khula if:
-
Husband has been missing for 4 years
