I initiated divorce proceedings in January 2025, concurrently filing a maintenance claim. Due to deliberate delays by the respondent, the cases are currently awaiting a mediation report, and a joint petition has been submitted to the court for both matters. Subsequently, in January 2026, I filed a domestic violence case due to ongoing stalking. The respondent's failure to acknowledge the notice until August 31st, when he finally filed his vakalat, resulted in the court referring the case to mediation. My inquiry is whether it would be advisable to pursue a Khula at this juncture, given the respondent's intentional procrastination in finalizing the divorce where i dont claim alimony or we dont have children.
