Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the difference between divorce, khul', and annulment?

Answer:
Divorce is like saying: "You are divorced."
And khul' is when he divorces her in exchange for a specified amount of money, and it is called khul'.
And annulment is from the side of the judge, and it occurs if the husband refuses to divorce her, and the judge sees annulment; then he annuls the marriage, so annulment is from the side of the judge.
