Divorce by affording one’s wife the right of Khula

· 30 Rajab 1443 AH1 min readEnglish
Talaaq (Divorce)

Question

On one occasion my husband told me, “Make Khula and get from here!” My husband states that he didn’t intend divorce. Is this considered as divorce?

Answer

In the queried scenario, your husband was giving you the option of exercising your right of Khula and leaving, which you obviously did not exercise; hence, your Nikah is perfectly intact.
