    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa: 1333/819/D=1432) You should have written the complete words of talaq and khula. However, if the talaq or khula has taken place as per the Shariah and the woman has met his husband in privacy, then it is wajib for the woman to pass the iddah of talaq or khula. The maintenance of iddah period shall be wajib on the husband.
