Under Muslim personal law, a wife can seek divorce through Khula, or file a case under the Dissolution of Muslim Marriages Act, 1939, on grounds like cruelty, desertion, impotency, or non-maintenance. A lawyer can help file the petition in family court depending on your situation. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
