A family case shall be decided within 180 days


According to section 12-A of the West Pakistan Family Courts Act 1964, the family judge shall decide a family case within 6 months. Generally, majority of the family cases are decided within this stipulated time. However, few cases are not dealt in the manner prescribed by law because of many reasons.

In case if litigation in a family suit takes more than 180 days time, the litigant should approach the High Court immediately without wasting any time. In routine matters, High Court easily give direction for disposal of family suits within a month or two in cases where the litigation runs more than 6 months.

If you case is pending for more than six months, do contact us at lawyergolra@gmail.com for proper assistance.

Divorce is not possible during pregnancy

A Muslim woman cannot be divorced during pregnancy. If a husband pronounces divorce to his wife during pregnancy, it is immaterial till delivery. However, if after delivery of child, it is not reconciled within 90 days, it becomes divorce. The reason is that the Iddah of a Muslim woman is 90 days after pronouncement of divorce by the husband. If divorce is pronounced to a Muslim wife during pregnancy, it becomes effective automatically after the end of pregnancy. The iddat of such lady starts from that day and if the divorce is not revoked in such time period of 90 days, then it becomes complete divorce. Once a women completes her Iddat after divorce, it means the divorce is final and irrevocable between parties. For  more , you can consult omara.khan789@gmail.com or call +923123450006
