How to Legally Get Separation From Husband?

 How to legally separate from a husband is a question that is asked by many Muslim and non-Muslim females. There is no concept of separation from a husband for Muslim females. A Muslim female who doesn’t want to live with her husband can directly file a case of divorce in the family court called khula in Pakistan. The concept of separation is for the non-Muslim females. The non-Muslim female, in order to get a divorce from the court, has to establish in the court that she has been living separately from her husband for a certain time period. In case the female fails to establish in the court that she is living separately from her husband, then the court can issue the separation order. On the separation order, when the wife lives separately, only after that can she apply for divorce in Pakistan.
