Can a woman initiate divorce in Islam?

Yes, a woman has the right to initiate divorce in Islam through a process called khula’. This allows her to seek separation from her husband if she returns the mahr or part of it.
Quran 2:229. This is supported by various hadiths, including one where the Prophet (peace be upon him) allowed a woman to initiate divorce when she could not stay with her husband​
