Answer

Based on official Jordanian legal texts

In Jordanian law, "Khul" is addressed under the Personal Status Law. According to Article 108 (المادة 108) of the Personal Status Law, if both parties involved in the Khul (mutual divorce) declare that there is no compensation involved at the time of the Khul, it is considered a simple divorce (طلاق محض) and results in a revocable divorce (طلقة رجعية) unless it completes the third divorce or occurs before consummation, in which case it becomes irrevocable (بائن).

For official advice and to understand the implications fully, it is recommended to consult a qualified lawyer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can khulʿ happen without any financial concession?
Yes in rare cases by mutual agreement, but the default in khulʿ is a financial exchange.
Can a khulʿ ruling be reversed after issuance?
Once the khulʿ judgment becomes final, it is irreversible. Returning to marriage requires a new contract and new dowry by mutual consent.
How long does a khulʿ case take?
It varies by cooperation, but is usually shorter than judicial separation, especially when reconciliation is reached first.
