(khula).”Allah the Exalted has stated in the Holy Qur’an that separation between husband and wife is something undesirable but permissible in certain circumstances. Hazrat Khalifatul Masih V (may Allah be his Helper) said in this regard:
“Sometimes husband and wife do not get on after marriage, either they are not like-minded or there are other reasons. Islam gives both of them the right to separate in such instances. This right is given to men under some conditions in the form of talaq (divorce initiated by husband) and to women in the form of (khula).”

Identifying certain moral lapses during marital separation, Hazrat Khalifatul Masih V (may Allah be his Helper) said:
“Divorce and 
(khula) rate is increasing. This is a frightening situation which is not static, in fact I have observed that each year divorce and 
(khula) rate is going up. Both parties try to make their case strong by at times speaking the truth and at other times telling lies and they lose each other’s confidence by being disingenuous. Just as I mentioned, this is a cause for concern for me and this is because the rate of 
(khula) is going up in the Jama’at and 
(khula) is initiated by the woman. As I said the situation in Germany is also regrettable.”
Huzoore Anwer added: “Although divorce and 
(khula) are permitted in Islam but the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) said Allah the Exalted dislikes it intensely and it is abhorrent. (Sunan Abi Dawood, Kitabu Talaq, Babu Fi karahiyate talaq, Hadith number 2178)
“The dignity of a true believing man and a true believing woman is that if due to some constraints they have to deal with these matters they should do so with fairness and with fear of God in their hearts and they should speak the truth and never let go of truth because the dignity of a true believer is in never telling lies.”

Advising the concealing of each other’s faults in instances of divorce or khula Huzoore Anwer (may Allah be his Helper) said:
“Many marital conflicts come before the Jama’at in the Qadha Board (committee which resolves disputes between members of Jama’at in light of Islamic doctrine). These relate to 
(khula) or divorce and divorce is of course an undesirable act. However, if due to some reason a man and a woman cannot get by, the man has the right to divorce and the woman has the right to take
(khula). Sometimes some matters have to be disclosed to the person attempting reconciliation. To some extent it is fair to mention general matters but sometimes the relatives of the man and the woman also join in and make personal attacks at each other which are embarrassing to listen. The relationship between husband and wife is such that some hidden, personal matters are revealed in it. To disclose them after a conflict or to mention them to one’s relatives merely to disgrace the other so that he or she cannot remarry! It is stated that if you indulge in such practices it would be counted as extreme indecency and betrayal and it is stated about one who betrays that he is not a true believer, he is not a Muslim and is also Hell-bound.”
