Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 274/214/B=1433) Usually a woman takes khula in return of her mahr i.e. the woman demands for talaq in return of her mahr. If the husband has given talaq in this way then it is necessary to return the mahr to the husband. You can collect the amount of mahr by doing any Panchayat or with the mediation of some influential person.
