Divorces by consent can take affect immediately after commencing and executing the papers, however, in most cases the husband can exercise such rights. In case of a woman, divorces by consent can be made effective, which is called Khula divorces, however, in that case the woman has to give up her rights of dower and pay back should the dower has been received by the Wife previously.

- Muslims Family Laws Ordinance 1961
