Khula & Talaq-e-Tafweez: The Infrequent Exercised Extra-Judicial Divorce Rights of Muslim Women with Contemporary Challenges and Judicial Responses on it
Abstract: This article examines the underutilized extra-judicial divorce rights of Khula and Talaq-e-Tafweez available to Muslim women under Shariah law, alongside contemporary challenges and key judicial affirmations in India. Drawing from Quranic verses, Hadith, legal texts, and case law, it highlights how ignorance, social stigma, and patriarchal norms limit these rights despite their empowering potential. The doctrinal analysis reveals growing judicial support, promoting women's autonomy in marital dissolution.
