Khula — Divorce Initiated by Wife Under Muslim Personal Law
Khula is the right of a Muslim wife to seek divorce by returning the Mehr (dower) to the husband. In India, Khula through court is filed as a suit for dissolution of marriage under the Dissolution of Muslim Marriages Act, 1939 (DMMA). A Muslim woman does not need her husband's consent to seek divorce through the court if specific grounds are established — including the husband's failure to maintain her, cruelty, abandonment, imprisonment, or incurable disease. Advocate Faizan Siddiqui handles Khula petitions at Family Courts in Prayagraj and, on appeal, at Allahabad High Court. The process is handled with complete confidentiality.
- Dissolution of Muslim Marriages Act, 1939 — all grounds covered
- Khula without husband's consent — court-ordered dissolution
- Emergency protection orders if there is risk of violence
- Maintenance during proceedings under CrPC 125
- Mehr recovery (full or negotiated) as part of divorce settlement
- Child custody determined under Guardianship and Wards Act 1890
Triple Talaq — Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Act 2019
The Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Act, 2019 criminalises instantaneous triple Talaq (Talaq-e-bidat). Any pronouncement of Talaq three times in one sitting — whether verbal, written, or electronic (including WhatsApp, SMS) — is now void and illegal. The husband can be arrested and faces imprisonment up to 3 years. Under this Act, the wife is also entitled to maintenance from the husband during the pendency of proceedings, and custody of minor children. Advocate Faizan Siddiqui files FIRs and court petitions under this Act, and also defends husbands wrongly accused under it.
- Filing complaint under Muslim Women Protection Act 2019
- Arrest bail in triple talaq cases (both filing and opposing)
- Maintenance application for wife and children
- Child custody orders under the Act
- Compounding/settlement of triple talaq FIR cases
- Defence for husbands wrongly accused under the 2019 Act

Mehr Recovery — Enforcing the Marital Dower in Court
Mehr (dower) is a financial right of the Muslim wife — agreed upon at the time of Nikah. If the husband refuses to pay Mehr after divorce or separation, it can be enforced as a legal debt in Indian courts. It does not matter whether the Mehr was "prompt" (to be paid immediately) or "deferred" (to be paid on divorce or death) — both are enforceable in civil court as a money decree. Advocate Faizan Siddiqui files Mehr recovery suits at the appropriate civil court in Prayagraj, and Mehr is also argued as part of the divorce settlement.
- Civil suit for Mehr recovery — filed at Munsif or Civil Judge court
- Mehr as part of divorce/dissolution proceedings
- Attachment of husband's property to recover Mehr amount
- Deferred Mehr recovery after death of husband (estate claim)
- Nikah nama review and Mehr documentation
- Negotiated Mehr settlement as part of wider divorce agreement
Maintenance for Muslim Women — CrPC 125 and Muslim Women Acts
A Muslim woman's right to maintenance is protected under multiple laws. Under the landmark Supreme Court decision in Mohd. Ahmed Khan v. Shah Bano (1985) and subsequent legislation, divorced Muslim women are entitled to maintenance beyond the iddat period if they cannot maintain themselves. Under CrPC Section 125, all women (including Muslim women) are entitled to maintenance from husbands who have sufficient means and refuse or neglect to maintain them. The Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Divorce) Act 1986 also provides specific rights. Advocate Faizan Siddiqui files maintenance applications under all applicable provisions based on which gives the best outcome for the client.
- CrPC Section 125 — maintenance application at magistrate court
- Muslim Women Protection of Rights on Divorce Act 1986
- Post-divorce maintenance beyond iddat if wife cannot maintain herself
- Interim maintenance during divorce/separation proceedings
- Enhancement of existing maintenance orders
- Child maintenance — separate from wife's maintenance

Child Custody in Muslim Divorces — Guardianship and Hizanat
Under Muslim personal law, the mother has the right of Hizanat (custody) until the child reaches a certain age — 7 for boys and puberty for girls. The father is the natural guardian but the mother is the preferred custodian for young children. In court, custody is decided under the Guardianship and Wards Act, 1890, with the paramount consideration being the welfare of the child. Advocate Faizan Siddiqui files guardianship petitions, interim custody applications, and also handles cases where grandparents or other relatives are seeking custody.
- Guardianship petition under Guardianship and Wards Act 1890
- Interim custody during divorce proceedings
- Visitation rights / access rights for non-custodial parent
- Custody for children above age of Hizanat (boy 7+, girl puberty+)
- International custody disputes where NRI parent is involved
- Challenge to custody orders in High Court (revision/appeal)
