Question

Answer
A female has the option of offering her Mahr or a sum of money to her husband in lieu of a Talaaq. If the husband accepts this arrangement, one irrevocable divorce will take place and the marriage will terminate.
This is a mutual agreement between the husband and wife known as Khul’ and should be facilitated under the guidance of a reputable Alim.
If the husband refuses and does not cooperate after exhausting efforts to reconcile, she may request for a dissolution of her marriage at her local Jamiat.
And Allah Knows Best
