Second Marriage in Pakistan 2026: Permission & Punishments Guide

Pakistan Mein Doosri Shadi Ka Qanoon 2026: Pehli Biwi Ki Ijazat Ke Baghair Shadi Ke Sangeen Nataij

• Last Updated: March 23, 2026
• Relevant Law: Muslim Family Laws Ordinance (MFLO) 1961, Section 6
• Status: Legal but Punishable (If procedure not followed)

Pakistan mein aik se zyada shadiyan karna shariat ki nazar mein ijazat-yafta ho sakta hai, magar mulki qanoon (Muslim Family Laws Ordinance, 1961) ke tehat is ke liye aik sakht procedure muqarrar hai. 2026 mein adalon ne wazeh kar diya hai ke "Teesre Nikah" ya "Doosre Nikah" ke liye pehli biwi ki ijazat ya Arbitration Council ki manzoori ke baghair qadam uthana shohar ko jail aur bhari jurmane ki taraf le ja sakta hai.

Humein lagta hai ke karobari aur niji zindagi mein qanoon ki pasdari hi izzat aur mal ki hifazat ki zamanat hai.
1. Arbitration Council (Salishi Council) Kya Hai?
Qanoon ke mutabiq, doosri shadi ke liye shohar ko direct Nikah parhwane ki ijazat nahi hoti. Usay darj-zail marahil se guzarna parta hai:

• Darkhwast (Application): Shohar ko mutallika Union Council ke Chairman ko aik darkhwast deni hoti hai.
• Wajoohaat: Usay sabit karna hota hai ke doosri shadi kyun "zaroori aur munsifana" (Just and Necessary) hai.
• Council Panel: Chairman aik Salishi Council banata hai jis mein shohar, pehli biwi, aur Chairman ka aik aik numayinda shamil hota hai.
• Decision: Agar Council mutma-in ho jaye, tabhi doosri shadi ki "Certificate of Permission" jari kiya jata hai.

2. Baghair Ijazat Shadi Ke 3 Sangeen Qanooni Nataij
Agar koi shaks is procedure ko bypass kar ke shadi kar leta hai, to 2026 ke naye rules ke tehat usay in 3 baray jhatkon ka samna karna paray ga:

• A. Foji (Criminal) Saza aur Jail
• MFLO ke Section 6(5) ke tehat, baghair ijazat shadi aik qabil-e-tazeer jurm hai.
• Qaid (Imprisonment): Shohar ko 1 saal tak ki sakht qaid ho sakti hai.
• Jurmana (Fine): 2026 mein courts ne jurmane ki raqam ko barha diya hai. Ab ye 5 Lakh (500,000) PKR tak ho sakta hai, aur adaigi na karne par mazeed qaid ho sakti hai.
• B. Haq-e-Mehr Ki Fori Adaigi (The Financial Blow)
• Ye shohar ke liye sab se bara mali (financial) jhatka hota hai.
• Instant Payment: Jaise hi shohar doosri shadi karta hai, pehli biwi ka MUKAMMAL Haq-e-Mehr (Dower) foran wajib-ul-ada (Immediate) ho jata hai.
• Deferred becomes Prompt: Agar Nikah Nama mein likha ho ke mehr 10 saal baad ya talaq par diya jayega, tab bhi doosri shadi ki surat mein wo "Foran" dena hoga.
• Recovery: Agar shohar ada nahi karta, to adalat usay "Arrears of Land Revenue" (yaani jaidad kurq kar ke) wasool kar sakti hai.
• C. Pehli Biwi Ka "Dissolution of Marriage" Ka Haq
• Doosri shadi pehli biwi ko aik mazboot qanooni buniyaad deti hai:
• Cruelty (Ziyadti): Adalat baghair ijazat doosri shadi ko "Mental Cruelty" tasawwur karti hai.
• Talaq/Khula: Biwi is buniyaad par Khula ya Dissolution of Marriage ka dawa kar sakti hai aur usay apna poora haq-e-mehr aur bacho ka kharcha bhi milega.

3. Kya Doosri Shadi Khatam (Void) Ho Jati Hai?
Ye aik boht bari galat-fehmi hai jo 2026 mein bhi log poochte hain.

• Nikah Ki Hasiyat: Baghair ijazat kiya gaya doosra Nikah "Batil" (Invalid) nahi hota. Yaani shadi qaim rehti hai aur doosri biwi se hone wale bache qanooni waris hote hain.
• Magar: Shadi valid hone ke bawajood shohar "Mujrim" qarar pata hai. Usay jail aur jurmana bhugatna hoga, magar uska Nikah nahi toot-ta.

6. Sawal Aur Jawab (FAQs)

• Q1: Agar pehli biwi zubani (verbally) ijazat de de to kya kafi hai? 
• Jawab: Bilkul nahi. Qanoon sirf "Written Permission" aur Salishi Council ke certificate ko tasleem karta hai.
• Q2: Kya doosri biwi ko pata hona zaroori hai ke shohar pehle se shadi shuda hai? 
• Jawab: Ji han. Agar shohar apni pehli shadi chupata hai, to ye doosri biwi ke sath dhoka dahi hai aur wo bhi 420 (Fraud) ka case kar sakti hai.
• Q3: Pehli biwi kitne arsay baad case kar sakti hai? 
• Jawab: Iski koi sakht limit nahi, magar behtar hai ke shadi ka pata chalte hi foran karwai ki jaye.
• Q4: Agar pehli biwi bimar ho ya aulad na ho rahi ho, tab bhi ijazat lazmi hai? 
• Jawab: Ji han, wajoohaat chahe kitni hi sachi hon, "Procedure" follow karna lazmi hai.
• Q5: Kya Salishi Council ijazat dene se inkar kar sakti hai? 
• Jawab: Ji han, agar Council ko lage ke shohar do biwiyon mein insaf nahi kar sakega ya wajh munasib nahi hai.
• Q6: Kya doosri shadi ke baad pehli biwi ko ghar se nikala ja sakta hai? 
• Jawab: Hargiz nahi. Pehli biwi ka "Separate Maintenance" aur "Haq-e-Sukan" (rehaish) ka haq mazeed mazboot ho jata hai.
• Q7: Kya Nikah Registrar ko bhi saza ho sakti hai? 
• Jawab: Ji han, agar usne baghair ijazat-nama dekhe doosra Nikah register kiya ho, to us ka licence cancel ho sakta hai aur saza bhi ho sakti hai.
• Q8: Agar shohar haq-e-mehr ada na kar sake to? 
• Jawab: Adalat usay jail bhej sakti hai ya uski jaidad farokht karwa kar biwi ko paise dilwa sakti hai.
• Q9: Kya overseas Pakistanis par bhi ye qanoon lagu hota hai? 
• Jawab: Ji han, agar shadi Pakistan mein register ho rahi hai ya dono Pakistani shehri hain.
• Q10: Kya doosri biwi wirasat (Inheritance) mein haqdar hogi? 
• Jawab: Ji han, kyunke Nikah valid hai, is liye wo shohar ki wafat ke baad uski jaidad mein shar'i hissa payegi.

💡Mashwara

• Jazbat mein aa kar qanoon ko hath mein lena aqal-mandi nahi. Mashwara dena chahiye ke agar doosri shadi zaroori hai, to pehli biwi ko etemad mein lein aur Salishi Council ka certificate lazmi hasil karein. 
• Tip: Aik 'Second Marriage' ki ghalti aap ki poori zindagi ki jama-poonji (Haq-e-Mehr ki surat mein) khatam kar sakti hai. Hamesha qanooni rasta apnayein!
