Nevertheless, Islam critics point out that Khul' is in many ways an injustice towards the women, and it is not the counter part of husband's right of giving direct Talaq, while: | Nevertheless, Islam critics point out that Khul' is in many ways an injustice towards the women, and it is not the counter part of husband's right of giving direct Talaq, while: | ||
