Khula & Divorce Form

An un-refundable payment of £50 is due upon submission of your application, only upon receiving this will your case be presented to the commission.

Following this a payment of £400/- pounds is required with your application form for Khula or £450/- pounds is required with your application form for Fasekh. If the husband agrees to the request for Khula immediately and signs the Khula document without the need for sending further letters or meetings, then no further cost applies.

Further fees will be applied if the case requires more admin work. We have placed a CAP on the fee so regardless of how much work is required, the total fee (including registration fees) will never exceed £650/-.

Please do not make a full payment of £400/- or £450/- in one payment. Please only pay registration fees with the application form, the final payment will need to be made at the end of the case. Please also note the certificate will not be released until payment has been received.

1. All new and prospective applicants must attach the main reasons for seeking a Khula / Marriage Dissolution, on a separate sheet, with their application form
2. Your application will be registered with the relevant details. It is imperative that you provide a contact address for the husband.
3. The Commission will issue the first letter to the husband, informing him that his wife has approached the commission for Khula / Marriage Dissolution. The applicant will receive a copy with a reference number for future correspondence. If the husband fails to reply within the allocated period, the commission will issue a second letter which will be followed by a third letter if no reply was received within the allocated time. The allocated period for husbands residing in the UK is one month, two months for those residing abroad.
4. If the husband fails to respond to the third letter, the Commission will request the applicant to verify the respondent's address. However, if the husband responds at any point, a joint meeting between both parties and the commission representative is an integral part of the proceedings to carry out fair and just mediation. Failure to attend this meeting by the applicant may delay the case or result in its closure.
   
   Please note that the joint meeting is an integral part of mediation, but this does not mean we are forcing the couple to reconcile. A joint meeting can help both parties achieve final closure. If there are any legal impediments, such as a current nonmolestation order, please inform us of this and provide a copy.


5. The above procedure is subject to the nature of the contact details of the husband.
6. Once the Commission has received verification of the husband’s address, it will issue an interview request letter to the wife and the husband (provided he is legally able to do so) to see one of the Commission representatives in their area (if applicable). The representative will produce a report accordingly.
7. If the husband does not attend the interview in given time, the Commission will issue a final notice and copies of 1st, 2nd, 3rd letters will be sent to him via recorded delivery.
8. A request is sent to the wife asking her for confirmation to take the file to the next panel meeting, which is on last Wednesday of every month. However, before a case is presented to the panel meeting, all the above criteria must be met.
9. Once the case goes to the panel meeting, if the panel makes any conditional decision of dissolution, then divorce certificate is issued subject to compliance of these conditions. If the wife breaches any conditions, which she agreed to, the Commission may revoke the divorce certificate.
10. We cannot give an actual time frame for the process to complete as this is dependent on the individual case and the response from both parties.
11. Once the Khula case has been finalised, the husband can order an original copy of the Khula certificate for a fee of £50/-. This can be paid either by cheque or by card by calling our office. This payment has to be made separately by the husband and is not included in the Khula fees.

Methods of payment:

1. Preferably Online payment. The ICCUK will send you a payment link upon request.
2. Cheque or Postal order payable to “London Central Mosque”. Card payment by phone or in the office. Note: Any declined cheques will incur a £25/- Admin fee.
3. Card payment: A debit card payment can be made in the office or over the phone.
4. Cash: We can only accept cash payments in the office.
5. Final payment must be received within 30 days from the invoice date.

Special Circumstances:

Accounts not paid within the 30-day period specified are subject to an overcharge due to amount of time and resources used to chase payment. In some circumstances, the client has genuine reasons for late payment. In such cases the client is responsible for informing the Commission of Fatwa and Sharia Affairs of date and time of expected payment with reason for delay. This is subject to the management agreeing to your reason.

Breaching the Policy:

Failure to make payment(s) according to the above policy may lead to the Commission of Fatwa and Sharia Affairs filing a case with the small claims court; as a result the client will end up paying more due to time and resources allocated.
