‘Khula’ a right but court must process it, not muftis: Telangana HC strikes down sharia council divorce; asserts judicial oversight
The Telangana High Court has affirmed that 'khula,' a divorce initiated by Muslim women, is legal but requires court processing for validity. This ruling supports a family court's decision and aligns with a recent Supreme Court judgment, clarifying that religious bodies cannot issue binding divorce certificates.
