Pakistan’s Supreme Court affirmed a woman’s right to Khula, a unilateral divorce under Islamic law, overturning a lower court’s dismissal. The ruling emphasised that a husband’s consent is not required and recognized psychological abuse as valid grounds for divorce. This landmark decision upholds women’s autonomy and constitutional rights.
