I’m 27 years old and my wife is 21. We’ve been married for 8 months and are part of a Muslim community. My wife left our home 2 months ago, citing issues and filing a complaint with our community’s elders. They came to my house saying she wants her belongings because her brother is getting married in April. I don’t want a divorce, but rumors suggest she’s seeking a Khula. We’ve been trying to talk to her family through the elders but they’re not cooperating. I’m planning to send a letter to both the elders and her family, stating that if they don’t respond within 20 days, it will be considered her decision to seek a Khula, and they will be responsible for the outcome due to the delays. Are there any other options in this situation, keeping in mind Indian and Islamic law?

Under Indian law, your wife has the right to seek a divorce, including through Khula. While you can try to reconcile, your letter may not be legally binding. You can explore options like family counseling or mediation to resolve the issues and potentially prevent divorce, but ultimately, the decision rests with your wife.
