For what reasons is a wife permitted to seek the dissolution of her Nikah through an Islamic Council?

Published on: November 15, 2018

The Answer;

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

Islam has given a woman the right to seek the dissolution (Faskh) of her Nikah on the basis of valid grounds, as outlined in the books of jurisprudence. It would be necessary to seek the consultation of an experienced and qualified Islamic scholar, who will assess whether there are grounds for a separation.

And Allah(swt) alone knows best.
