Khula (reward for obtaining divorce) is the money or something else given by a women to a man to let her go. This is because a women cannot obtain divorce without the consent of her husband in Islamic jurisprudence[1]. This is a particular problem in such countries as Pakistan, Iran, and other Islamic nations where there are sharia courts in charge of marriage laws with Islamic clergy in control.

With reference to the above article on Khula, I would like to inform my unknown friend who has written the article and states that Khula is a particular problem in some countries that it is not a problem but a solution to the women to get divorce from their husbands without any hassles. It is a very simple procedure wherein women can give her gifts (given by husband) back to him or keep with herself based on the mutual understanding between a couple. It is a peaceful process and a right given to women in Islam.
