- Governing Laws: West Pakistan Family Courts Act 1964, Muslim Family Laws Ordinance 1961.
- Key Concept: Right of Separation (Khula) & Financial Settlements.
Humein lagta hai ke har aurat ko apne qanooni tahaffuz ka ilm hona chahiye taake wo kisi bhi zehni ya jismani aziyat se nijaat pa sakay.
1. Khula Lene Ke Bunyadi Grounds (Legal Reasons 2026)
Agarchay Khula ke liye biwi ka sirf ye bayan kafi hai ke wo shohar ke sath mazeed nahi reh sakti, magar 2026 ke naye judicial trends ke mutabiq darj-zail wajoohaat (grounds) case ko mazeed mazboot banati hain:
- Cruelty (Zulm-o-Sitam): Agar shohar jismani (physical) ya zehni (mental) tashaddud karta ho.
- Non-Maintenance (Nan-o-Nafqa): Shohar ne musalsal 2 saal tak biwi ko kharcha na diya ho.
- Desertion (Ghair-hazri): Shohar 4 saal se la-pata ho ya biwi ko chor kar chala gaya ho.
- Failure of Marital Obligations: Shohar 3 saal se shadi shuda faraiz ada na kar raha ho.
- Second Marriage Without Permission: Shohar ne pehli biwi ya Arbitration Council ki ijazat ke baghair doosri shadi ki ho.
- Impotency: Agar shohar shadi ke waqt se mardana kamzori ka shikar ho.
2026 mein family courts ne e-filing aur video link ki sahulat ko lazmi kar diya hai taake overseas khawateen bhi apna haq le sakein.
- Step 1: Suit Filing (Dawa Daer Karna)
- Biwi apne ilaqay ki Family Court mein Khula ka dawa file karti hai.
- Update: 2026 ke qanoon ke mutabiq, biwi ab wahan bhi dawa kar sakti hai jahan wo ab reh rahi ho (chahe wo uska maika ho ya koi aur shehar), usay shohar ke shehar jane ki zaroorat nahi.
- Step 2: Issuance of Notices (Summons)
- Adalat shohar ko notice bhejti hai. 2026 mein notice sirf post se nahi balkay WhatsApp aur SMS ke zariye bhi bheja jata hai. Agar shohar jan boojh kar nahi aata, to adalat Ex-parte Decree (shohar ki ghair-hazri mein faisla) jari kar deti hai.
- Step 3: Reconciliation (Musalihat)
- Qanoon ke tehat adalat mian-biwi ke darmiyan aik koshish karti hai ke samjhauta ho jaye. Agar biwi adalat mein saaf inkar kar de ke wo kisi soorat sath nahi rehna chahti, to judge mazeed sawal jawab ke baghair Khula ka faisla sunane ka paband hai.
- Step 4: The Decree and Union Council
- Adalat Khula ki degree deti hai. Is degree ki copy mutallika Union Council mein jama karwani hoti hai. Wahan 90 din ke iddat period ke baad "Divorce Effectiveness Certificate" jari hota hai jo NADRA mein registered hota hai.
Khula mein sab se bara sawal Mehr ki wapsi ka hota hai. 2025-26 ke halia faislon ne is par naye qawaneen waze kiye hain:
- General Rule: Chonke Khula biwi ki taraf se mangi jati hai, is liye usay apna Prompt Mehr (Muajjal) wapas karna parta hai ya Deferred Mehr (Ghair-Muajjal) chorna parta hai.
- The 2025 Landmark Ruling (Lahore High Court): LHC ne faisla diya hai ke agar biwi shohar ki bad-suluqi ya zulm (Cruelty) sabit kar de, to adalat usay Pura Haq-e-Mehr rakhne ki ijazat de sakti hai. Khula lene ka matlab ye nahi ke har haal mein Mehr wapas kiya jaye.
- Zar-e-Khula: Ye wo raqam ya cheez hai jo biwi shadi khatam karne ke badle shohar ko deti hai. Aam tor par ye Mehr ki raqam hi hoti hai.
