What is the ruling if a husband claims a Khul' (repudiation for compensation) occurred but the wife denies it?

General Chapter

Al-Mughni

Book of Khul' (Redemption Divorce)

Book 38 · Issue 1 · Bab 1

Open in Qurani

Primary text

If the husband claims the Khul' occurred and the wife denies it, the wife's denial is accepted, she is not obligated to pay compensation, and the burden of the oath falls upon her. The separation (bainuna) is established based on the husband's claim being accepted against the wife's denial of the contract itself.
