Iwadh (the redemption payment a wife pays in khuluk)

Iwadh is the redemption payment a wife pays her husband in exchange for a khuluk divorce. It can be cash or other agreed property.

A common case: a wife and husband disagree on the iwadh amount, so the court weighs the original mas kahwin and the wife’s means before setting a reasonable figure.

The iwadh amount varies case by case; there is no fixed rate applied across Malaysia.
