Khulla Talak - A form of divorce by mutual consent in Islamic law, where the wife willingly relinquishes her marital rights, resulting in an irrevocable divorce (Talak Bain Sughra). The divorce is formalized through a Khulla Nama (divorce deed) and may involve conditions such as settlement payments. Once executed, the parties are free to remarry if they choose.

Courts have clarified that Khulla does not require judicial decree unless contested, and it is often settled through mutual agreement outside formal court proceedings.
