Can a Marja grant Khula if the husband is absent, with the wife not compensating him and obtaining the Khula without his consent through the Marja?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Marja' of Taqleed has the right to issue Khul'a Talaq if the husband is not responding to the Marja's calling him to give his wife's full rights or giving her divorce.

Is it possible for a woman to remarry the same man after obtaining a Khula without having to marry someone else first, as is typically required in a divorce?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

She can remarry the same man after she invalidates the Khul’a by talking back what she gave to him,then the Khul’a will turn into usual Talaq and then she can re marry to him. Most people misunderstand the meaning if Khula and think that it a one sided divorce from the wife to her husband. Khul’a in fact is a type of Talaq in which the wife gives an amount to her husband to make agree to divorce her, i.e. she pays him to free her from the bond of marriage. If she takes back what she gave him, the Khul’a will be invalid and the divorce will be a usual one Talaq.

Can a father not meet his child after having a Khula from wife and wait till he gets married and gets settled in his own life, as the child is in different country with her mother?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Islam does not allow anything which makes the child away from his parents. Cutting ties with any of the relatives is a sinful act, what about with the parents??

Even if the mother is divorced from the father, the rights of both of them on the child remain intact and both of them must maintain continuous contact between themselves child and his both parents. Father remains responsible to spend on his children till they are able to earn their livelihood.

I was told by someone that the concept of Khul' does not exist in Shi'a Islam. The woman cannot obtain divorce and the divorces of Shi'a women who have gotten Khul' through court, in Islamic states, are invalid. Is this true?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

There are many types of Talaq in Islam of Ahlul Bayt (AS) including Khul'i Talaq.but the concept of Khul' is different between the Islamic rules and general public. Many people think that Khul' is divorce enforced with out any consent of approval of the husband. This is not the real meaning of Khul' in Islamic rules. Khul' is a type of divorce when the wife does not like to continue with her husband and offer him any amount to make him give her divorce. When agrees and takes from her what agreed upon for the Talaq, that Talaq is called Khul'i.

If the husband is doing injustice in his wife and not agreeing to divorce her, she can refer her case to the Islamic authority (Marje' of Taqleed) who takes three steps: 1. Ordering the husband to give his wife all her rights with out any injustice. If husband refuse then 2. Order the husband to give divorce to his wife. If refuses again then 3. The Marje' ' himself give Talaq to this woman to release her from injustice.
