Muslim law mandates maintenance for dependents lacking self-support, prioritizing a wife's right over other relatives. Post-divorce, a fair provision is owed to a wife beyond the iddat, as upheld by Shah Bano's case.

Mubara’at is a form of Islamic divorce where both spouses mutually agree to end their marriage due to mutual dissatisfaction. Unlike Khula, it is initiated by either party and requires no compensation.
