Chapter on Divorce by Mutual Consent (Khul)

رَوَى عَلِيُّ بْنُ اَلنُّعْمَانِ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: "فِي اَلْخُلْعِ إِذَا قَالَتْ لَهُ لاَ أَغْتَسِلُ لَكَ مِنْ جَنَابَةٍ وَ لاَ أُبِرُّ لَكَ قَسَماً وَ لَأُوطِئَنَّ فِرَاشَكَ مَنْ تَكْرَهُهُ فَإِذَا قَالَتْ لَهُ هَذَا حَلَّ لَهُ أَنْ يَخْلَعَهَا وَ حَلَّ لَهُ مَا أَخَذَ مِنْهَا".
Ali ibn Al-Nu'man narrated from Ya'qub ibn Shu'ayb, from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, who said: "In the case of khulʿ (divorce initiated by the wife with compensation), if a woman says to her husband, 'I will not perform ghusl (ritual purification) for you after intimacy, I will not honor your oaths, and I will bring into your bed someone you dislike,' then when she says this to him, it becomes permissible for him to divorce her through khulʿ, and it is lawful for him to take from her what he has taken."
