Khulla’ (Divorce
obtained by a wife) (L-297)

فَإِن خِفتُم أَلّا يُقيما حُدودَ
اللَّهِ فَلا جُناحَ عَلَيهِما فيمَا افتَدَت بِهِ ۗ تِلكَ حُدودُ اللَّهِ فَلا
تَعتَدوها ۚ وَمَن يَتَعَدَّ حُدودَ اللَّهِ فَأُولٰئِكَ هُمُ الظّالِمونَ229b. |

HuduudUllaahi falaa ta’-taduuhaa. Wa many-yata-‘adda

229b. If you fear that they cannot maintain God’s limits,
then there is no blame on them if she sacrifices something for her release.
These are God’s limits, so do not transgress them. Those who transgress God’s
limits are the unjust. |
Reason of revelation of this verse is that a woman came in the court of Last Messenger (ﷺ) and requested that she was displeased from her husband. She did not want to live in her husband’s house. Messenger of God (ﷺ) asked about its reason. She answered, “My husband does neither neglect in performing my rights and nor I have any objection on his manners and customs. But I naturally hate him. I don’t want to see his figure. If I would not have the fear of Islam, then I wished to spit on his face”. The Messenger (ﷺ) caused to return the dower (Maher) and divorce her.
It has been commanded by God in this verse to the Muslims that if they have fear that the husband and wife are displeased from each another, and they may not live together, then there is no sin for them if they become separate. The woman can get rid of herself from marriage by returning dower to her husband and the husband can get back that wealth. The name of this particular form of divorce (desirous of which is the woman) is called Khula’ (a kind of divorce which is a right of the woman to let free from marriage). Instructions about Khula’ are available in the books of ‘the religious laws’ in detail.
It is evident from this verse that Islam commands us in every matter for correction and betterment of our families, domestic affairs and social relationships. If a man is displeased from his wife and considers it difficult to live together with his wife then he can get freedom from her. Like this, if the wife thinks that it is impossible to live in her husband’s home then she also can get freedom from her husband. Purpose of this is only correction of affairs in each form, making the marriage relationships better as it may be possible; somehow or other. In the last, it has been warned that these are the limits and conditions imposed by God, so you should not transgress them because transgressing these limits is a very big sin. Islam desires that the world’s society must be established on goodness and God fearing. Nobody should tyrannize or oppress any other. These limitations are called HuduudUllaah.
