Helping individuals, couples and families in the process of finalising separation and divorce is not a task the Council takes lightly. We always endeavour to help all parties carry on the marriage where the situation is beneficial to all. But when couples and individuals need a reliable process of finalising a marriage are here to guide and help. Our Divorce & Khula service comprises of four main areas:​

​

Applicaton fo Khula

Application for Khula

This is the application to dissolve an Islamic marriage contract, the stages of the Khula process are as follows:

​​​​​

  • ​Initial assessment interview

  • Following assessment, decision made by panel if case taken on or not

  • ​If case taken on, husband contacted to be informed of application and necessary steps taken thereafter (including joint meetings)
    ​

*Please note: ​

  • The Initial assessment is free, this will help the Council gather the scope of work and time needed.

  • After the initial assessment a cost is determined.  

  • Khula is NOT A GUARANTEE at the end of the process, more details will be given in the initial assessment meeting.

  • If there is no contact from the client for a period of three months or more, the council will automatically close the case and by policy there will be no reminders communicated of the closure.
