Seeking a Muslim Divorce: My Struggles and Plea for Support
Assalamu alaikum dear brothers and sisters. I’m a Muslimah living in Toronto, and I'm going through a difficult time trying to get a divorce. Finding help for faskh has been almost impossible. I reached out to many imams, but only one replied-and even he never followed up after saying he’d get back to me. I also contacted a service online and got an automated response with their charges: Talak (from the husband) costs $450, Khula (initiated by the wife but needing the husband’s okay) is $650, and Faskh (for women seeking dissolution) is a steep $1350. These fees feel unfair and the obvious bias against women is deeply upsetting. My iman has hit a low point, and I’m honestly questioning my faith. I could really use some advice or even just comforting words to get through this. Jazakum Allahu khairan.
