Applying for a khula from a womans side, I was a little scared and apprehensive. The brothers and made it extremely easy and was very sincere. The process was also very quick and none judgemental.

Most women go to these people as they easilly give an islamic divorce so she can remarry again. These guys grant the girl a "khulla". And its not according to islamic rules. Go to a proper mufti and have a one to one. And if girls think they are free because dewsburry granted them khulla. Think again. Its not done properly according to islam. Make sure your marriage is ended correctly according to islam.

Reply from Sharee Council

The Sharee Council employs a rigorous process for the Islamic dissolution of marriage (faskh). It is compliant with Islamic law and also ensures that UK law is not undermined.

As part of the process, both husband and wife are contacted in writing and given an adequate opportunity to respond and present their version of events. Similarly, participation at the meeting stage of the process is vital; both parties are accorded this opportunity and are invited.

For further details, please refer to the procedure here: https://shareecouncil.com/services/islamic-divorce-faskh-or-khula

Often, before issuing a decision, the Sharee Council is able to give due consideration to an amicable settlement if both parties participate in all steps of the process. It is with regret that one of the concerned spouses takes this process lightly and fails to engage adequately as per their duty to Islamic law.

Please be acquainted with the nature of and the difference between the various types of Islamic divorce: talaq, khula and faskh. The Sharee Council cannot and does not “grant khula” since a khula, as per Islamic law, is only possible with the agreement of husband and wife and is generally in exchange of a monetary return such as the dowry (mahr).

Finally, the Sharee Council offers a number of Islamic services with proficiency and professionalism, for both men and women. Please refer to our website for further information: https://shareecouncil.com/services

This is the official sharee Council based at masjid heera I have used them in the past and they are a genuine company. Don't fall for scammers using the same name or operating as Dewsbury Sharia Office.

I had full consultation process and the council helped me through all the steps in a professional manner

The worst council I have ever come across. They have no idea of how the Shariah , law of this country or the socail and psycoligical impacts divorce have. They are basically a divorce council absolutely arrogant rude and willing to take on any case regardless of their jurisdiction

Every marriage will go through a rocky …

Every marriage will go through a rocky patch now and again, and most couples can resolve their differences by talking to each other and understanding how each other feels. However, divorce should always be the last resort for any couple. It is a Muslim spouse’s duty to do everything possible to save the marriage, and for all other Muslims to do their utmost to help save the marriage. There are numerous agencies that will give advice and help to a couple in difficulties – the family members, the wider family members, the local community, the local religious leaders, the local Shariah Council, the Mediation Service, the Muslim Women’s Helpline, the Marriage Guidance Council, Relate, child-care officers, etc. The husbands and wives generally have to seek this help for themselves, but sometimes a solicitor will put clients in touch with suitable agencies. In good Islamic practice, before any effort is made to seek a divorce, all efforts possible should have been made to solve the problems and reconcile the spouses.
The Dewsbury Sharee Council is an arbitrator and not a mediation service and it wants to attract women to file for divorce by offering a quickie divorce service compared to the other Shariah councils in the UK. It has become very popular due to the fact divorces are granted on a guaranteed basis in a very short space of time. By being popular, demand has grown year by year and the income received by the council has grown year by year. The people running this organisation have become rich on other peoples misery.
The Islamic Shariah council in Leyton is the oldest in the UK and the largest, Birmingham Shariah Council both support reconcilliation and attempts are made by their counsellors through mediation. They also advise on the Shariah method for child custody and contact and build this into the reconcilliation process as not to separate the family even if the couple separate. Both these councils use the children as a tool to safeguard the marriage of the couple.
However, it seems that many women are now turning to the Dewsbury Sharee Council as it is very easy to get a Islamic divorce, the easiest place to get an Islamic divorce in the UK.
