The appellant (husband) and respondent (wife) were married on 1st June 2012. After facing years of domestic violence, the wife was hospitalized in July 2017 and moved to her parents’ home. She sought Khula, which the husband refused. She approached the Sada-E-Haq Sharai Council, which sent reconciliation notices and later issued a Khula divorce certificate on 5th October 2020. The husband challenged its validity, arguing the council had no authority to grant divorce. The High Court held that religious bodies like Muftis or NGOs can only issue non-binding Fatwas; binding dissolution requires court intervention. However, it affirmed the wife's right to Khula under Muslim Personal Law, stating that Khula takes immediate effect when expressed by the wife. The Family Court need only conduct a summary inquiry before giving judicial confirmation. The Court ruled the marriage was no longer subsisting and dismissed the husband’s petition. It emphasized no one can be forced to remain in a marriage against their will, upholding constitutional and personal law principles.
