Recently court( city court karachi ) has granted khula to my wife without any investigation or valid reason. This is all against my will and wish. I just need to know such type of dissolution of marriage is valid in Islam or she is still my wife.
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
In principle, it is necessary to have consent from both parties (husband and wife) in order to initiate a valid khul`.[1] However, since we are unaware of all the details regarding your case, we are unable to issue a blanket ruling on the status of your marriage. We advise you to contact one of the local Darul Iftaas in Karāchī and seek their guidance on the matter. Alternatively, you may also send the court ruling with all the documents to us for our observations.
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best

(قَوْلُهُ: وَشَرْطُهُ كَالطَّلَاقِ) وَهُوَ أَهْلِيَّةُ الزَّوْجِ وَكَوْنُ الْمَرْأَةِ مَحَلًّا لِلطَّلَاقِ مُنَجَّزًا، أَوْ مُعَلَّقًا عَلَى الْمِلْكِ. وَأَمَّا رُكْنُهُ فَهُوَ كَمَا فِي الْبَدَائِعِ: إذَا كَانَ بِعِوَضٍ الْإِيجَابُ وَالْقَبُولُ لِأَنَّهُ عَقْدٌ عَلَى الطَّلَاقِ بِعِوَضٍ، فَلَا تَقَعُ الْفُرْقَةُ، وَلَا يُسْتَحَقُّ الْعِوَضُ بِدُونِ الْقَبُولِ
