10. Can the husband revoke the delegation of the right of divorce?
i) No (Haq-e-Tafweez-e-Talaq is another option for dissolution of marriage
under which a woman is granted the right to annul her marriage. A broad
consensus exists among Muslim jurists that Islam gives a woman the right to
seek this power from her husband, and it can be delegated by him to her
both verbally as well as in writing, at the occasion of marriage solemnization
or afterwards, with different forms and conditions. If she has this right,
she can divorce herself and dissolve the marriage. Once this right is
delegated, it cannot be repudiated. The husband’s right of divorce
remains intact even after he delegates it to his wife. MFLO also
acknowledges this right. Accordingly, in Column 18 of the current
Nikahnama (standard marriage contract form), the husband may delegate
the power of divorce to his wife with conditions arrived at by the parties. In
the event that the wife subsequently exercises this right, she is required to
send the divorce notice to the Chairman of the Arbitration Council, who
issues a divorce certificate if reconciliation efforts from the platform of the
