Question:When a woman files for Khula (divorce initiated by the wife) in court, does her Iddah (waiting period) start from that time, or from when the court grants the Khula?
Answer: The Iddah does not start when the Khula notice is submitted to the court because the Khula has not yet been granted. The Iddah begins from the day the court issues the Khula decree. From that day, the woman must observe an Iddah of one menstrual cycle.
