Frequently Asked Questions
- How long does the father's support continue?
- For a son until he can earn like his peers; for a daughter until she marries. For a disabled child, it may continue for life depending on the case.
- Can the mother waive child support in khulʿ?
- No. Support is a right of the children themselves, not the mother. Waiver is legally void and not recognized.
- What if the father is insolvent?
- Support may be temporarily reduced with arrears tracked when his situation improves. Insolvency does not cancel support but affects the amount.
