    2. Khula Procedure is much simple, Engage a lawyer m who ll prepare your case and the same ll be filled in family court. you need to appear before the court only once time to record your statement and that’s all. Normally it takes 40 to 60 days for all proceedings.
    3. No, No permission is necessary.
    4. In case of Khula you to return only 25% of Given Haq Mehar and nothing else. (Only received Haq Mehar which is written in Nikkah Nama)
