Forum of Divorce Case in Pakistan

Family Courts in Pakistan have nothing to do with divorce cases. Divorce cases are heard and concluded in the Arbitration Councils in Pakistan. Similarly the West Pakistan Family Courts Act 1964 and West Pakistan Family Courts Rules 1965 are two main statutes that deal with family cases in Pakistan.

Both the captioned statutes have almost nothing to do with the divorce cases. Divorce cases are governed by another statute in Pakistan which is the "Muslim Family Laws Ordinance 1961". This statute formulates and empowers quasi judical forum of Arbitration Councils for proceeding with divorce cases.

The process of divorce is often simple in all corners of Pakistan. There are three adjournments generally for the reconciliation proceedings. At the end the case gets decided resulting in divorce mostly.

Rule that no limitation ran against a void order was not an inflexible rule --- Party could not sleep over to challenge a void order and it was bound to challenge the same within the stipulated/Prescribed time period of limitation from the date of knowledge before the proper forum in appropriate proceedings --- Appeal filed before the Appellate Tribunal was admittedly time-barred, and was rightly dismissed as being hit by limitation and no sufficient cause for condonation of delay was found --- High Court agreed with the order of Appellate Tribunal --- Supreme Court had affirmed concurrent findings recorded by fora below --- Review petition was dismissed in circumstances.

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
