Frequently Asked Questions
- Is insolvency alone enough for separation?
- Not immediately. The wife grants the husband a reasonable period to arrange maintenance; if he fails, separation is permitted.
- Does the wife get back-maintenance owed before separation?
- Yes. Maintenance owed before separation is a debt that does not lapse with the separation.
- Does separation for non-maintenance require a financial concession?
- No. Unlike khulʿ, separation for non-maintenance requires no financial concession from the wife.
