Advice from People who have gone through KHULA process or are currently have an application in process.
The question I have is
If I give the Nadra Divorce Certificate issued by the Union Council that say,
Will there be an objection a BIG RED FLAG of what is going on by the Visa Officer over this KHULA issue, and the application gets rejected?
- Divorce Certificate as KHULA
- Authority Granting Divorce as JUSTICE OF PEACE
- Date of Notice of Divorce: 22 Jan 2004
- Date of Failure of Consolation: 22 Jan 2004
- Date of Effectiveness of Divorce: 22 Jan 2004
- Date of Entry: 14 October 2017
- Date of Issue: 14 October 2017
My wife does not have any document from the court that say decree of Khula issued by the Family Court. Just the Divorce sent by the X-husband.
FYI Note:
I am applying as Common-Law partner and not as Married Couple. we were married in Karachi in 2008 and my final divorce from my Canadian Wife was not completed till 2010. So we are not considered as married couple as per Canadian LAW.
You will need to correct these dates. There must be at least 90 days between the date of notice and the date of effectiveness of divorce. The date that the Justice of Peace granted the divorce is actually the date of notice. The divorce is actually effective after 90 days have passed (day 91). This is spelled out in Muslim Family Laws Ordinance 1961 section 7 (divorce procedures) and section 8 (divorce by modes other than talaq). So court divorces, mubarat divorce (mutual consent), khula divorces (woman's request), etc, are all under section 8 (section 7 only discusses talaq initiated by the man, section 8 simply says to follow the process after another judgment has been made such as khula, court, etc)
Hope this helps.
