NADRA DIVORCE CERTIFICATE
Nadra Divorce Certificate

How to Get Nadra Divorce Certificate in Pakistan?

Documents that are issued to confirm that a divorce has been granted, including details of the specific information contained in the documents and the name of the government body that has authority to grant a divorce; whether the documents have to be registered with a government body, including the name of the government body.

In Pakistan, [a] divorce certificate can be issued by the Family Court OR the Arbitration Council [AC]. The Arbitration Council is the Local Body representative of the area in which the woman resides.
A divorce in Pakistan becomes valid 90 days after the divorce has been announced to the AC (US 8 May 2003). Section 7 of the 1961 Muslim Family Laws Ordinance provides that upon the conclusion of the 90-day period, if no reconciliation has taken place, either party may request a divorce certificate from the AC, which proclaims the date on which the divorce came into effect, thereby enabling either party to remarry (ibid.). This applies to “‘all Muslim citizens of Pakistan wherever they may be'”

The following information pertaining to the issuance of divorce documents under Muslim laws in Pakistan.

1. A confirmation certificate of divorce is issued by the authorized and designated officer under [the] Muslim Family Laws Ordinance and Rules after reconciliation by the officer pursuant to the pronouncement of Talak (divorce), have failed. This certificate usually ends with the following:

“Whereas after receipt of the letter (Talaknama) dated … … … … … … . under Section 7 of the Muslim Family Laws Ordinance 1961 and subsequent correspondence, both parties were contacted for reconciliation but no reconciliation resulted. I, therefore, confirm the divorce.

The Divorce is confirmed under my seal on the … … … month … … … .Year … … … … … authorized officer stamp … … … … … . Signed”.

Ordinance of 1961

“Section 7 (1) Any man who wishes to divorce his wife shall, as Talaq soon as may be after the pronouncement of Talaq in any form whatsoever, give the Chairman a notice in writing of his having done so, and shall supply a copy thereof to the wife”.

“Section 7 (4) Within thirty days of the receipt of notice under Sub-Section (1), the Chairman shall constitute an Arbitration Council for the purpose of bringing about a reconciliation between the parties, and the Arbitration Council shall take all steps necessary to bring about such reconciliation”.

“Rule 5 (6) All decisions of the Arbitration Council shall be taken by majority, and where no decision can be taken, the decision of the Chairman shall be the decision of the Arbitration Council”.

“Rule 5 (7) A copy of the decision of the Arbitration Council duly attested by the Chairman, shall be furnished free of cost to each of the parties to the proceedings”.

“Rule 6 (1) of Muslim Family Laws Rules 1961: Within seven days of receiving an application under Sub-Section (4) of Section 6 or under Sub-Section (1) of Section 9, or a notice under Sub-Section (1) of Section 7, the Chairman shall, by order in writing call upon each of the parties to nominate his or her representative, and each such party shall, within seven days of receiving the order, nominate in writing a representative and deliver the nomination to the Chairman or send it to him by registered post”.

On failure of the reconciliation efforts, the councillor (who is called Chairman of the Arbitration Council) confirms the divorce by a letter/order. He cannot grant divorce as stated above only confirm it. Even if the certificate of confirmation is not issued by him the divorce becomes final after the period of statutory time meant for reconciliation according to the Supreme Court (of Pakistan) and High Court decisions.

The powers to grant divorce rests with the Family Court to whom the wife can make a petition, if she does not have the delegated powers given to her in the marriage contract by the husband whereby she can issue a letter pronouncing divorce for herself as a man would do. The Family Court of the area where she resides has powers to grant her divorce on her petition and normally would grant divorce if she shows that she is entitled to divorce on any of the grounds allowed by “Dissolution of Muslim Marriages Act 1939” or if she claims that she cannot live with him (as mandated by law and religion).

[11:01 AM, 4/3/2020] +92 324 7673930: خلع کب جائز ہے ؟
۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔

اسلام نے بلا شبہ ایک مسلمان عورت کو خلع کا حق دیا ہے ،
جس طرح مرد کو طلاق کا حق دیا گیا ہے۔
مرد ہو یا عورت ، دونوں اپنا اپنا یہ حق بہت سوچ سمجھ کر استعمال کرتے ہیں ۔ یہ جذباتی فیصلہ نہیں ہوتا۔
شعوری فیصلہ ہوتا ہے۔
دونوں یہ حق ، صرف ہنگامی حالت میں استعمال کریں گے۔
یوں سمجھ لیجئے کہ یہ ایک Emergency Exit ہے۔
عام حالات میں یہ سخت نا پسندیدہ ہے۔
اسلام چاہتا ہے کہ مسلم معاشرے میں طلاق اور خلع کے معاملات کم سے کم ہوں۔ خاندانی نظام متاثر نہ ہو۔
بچوں کی تربیت پر مضر اثرات مرتب نہ ہوں۔
بد قسمتی سے مغربی تہذیب کے اثرات نے معاشرے میں طلاق و خلع کی شرح میں اضافہ کردیا ہے۔

معقول جواز
۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔
مسلمان عورت کو خلع لینے کا حق ہے لیکن عورت کے پاس ، خلع کے لیے معقول جواز کا ہونا ضروری ہے۔
جیسے :
شوہر ، نا مرد ہو۔
متشدد اور ظالم ہو۔ وحشیانہ مار پیٹ کرتا ہو۔
جب بیوی کو جان کا خطرہ ہو۔
مکان کا کرایہ اور کھانے پینے کے بنیادی جائز اخرجات بھی نہ دیتا ہو۔
بے دین اور بے نمازی ہو۔
فسق و فجور اور کبیرہ گناہوں میں مبتلا ہو۔
بد اخلاق ہو۔
دیوث ہو۔ بے غیرت ہو۔
بد صورت ہو، اور بیوی اس سے نفرت کرتی ہو۔
یا عورت کو ڈر ہو کہ وہ اس شوہر کے ساتھ اللہ کے حدود کی پاسداری نہیں کرسکتی۔ ( جب بیوی کو شوہر کی بے التفاتی کی وجہ سے زنا میں مبتلا ہوجانےکا خدشہ ہو۔۔۔۔۔۔)وغیرہ ۔۔۔۔۔۔

فقہاء نے یہاں تک کہا ہے کہ اگر عورت اولاد کی طالب ہے ، اور شوہر جنسی حقوق تو پورے کرسکتا ہے ، لیکن مستند ماہر بڑے ڈاکٹر کہتے ہیں کہ وہ صاحب اولاد نہیں ہوسکتا تو ایسے صورت میں بھی عورت، حصول اولاد کی خاطر، خلع لے کر کہیں اور نکاح کر سکتی ہے۔

قرآن نے کہا کہ اگر وہ حدود اللہ کی اقامت نہ کرسکیں تو کچھ دے دلا کر ( مہر واپس کرکے )شوہر سے خلع لے سکتی ہیں۔
( البقرہ : 229 )
۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔
بچوں والی عورت کو خلع لینے سے پہلے سوبار سوچنا چاہیے کہ اس کے اثرات بچوں کی زندگی پر کیا مرتب ہوں گے۔
اصلاح احوال کی ساری کوششیں کی جائیں۔
علماء ، مصلحین ، خاندان اور برادری کے لوگوں سے مشورہ کیا جائے۔
اسی طرح بڑی عمر کی خواتین کا معاملہ ہے۔
انہیں اللہ کے ہاں جواب دہی کا خوف ہو۔
۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔

بلا وجہ خلع لینا:
۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔
رسول اللہ صل اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا :
جو عورت بلا سبب خلع لیتی ہے ، وہ جنت کی خوشبو نہیں پا سکے گی۔ ( ابن ماجہ : 2,055)
۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔
بلا وجہ خلع لینے والی عورتیں منافق ہوتی ہیں۔ ( ترمذی :1186 )
۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔
وہ شخص ہم ( مسلمانوں ) میں سے نہیں ، جو کسی عورت کو اس کے شوہر کے خلاف بھڑکائے۔ ( ابو داؤد :2٬17 )
۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔
مغرب میں عورتیں شہرت کے لیے ، پیسوں کے لیے ، بوالہوسی اور ذواقیت کے لیے خلع پر خلع لیے چلی جاتی ہیں۔
فلمی اداکاراؤں اور ماڈلز میں یہ رجحان بہت عام ہے۔
اللہ مسلم معاشرے پر رحم فرمائے۔
الحمدللہ چند واقعات سے قطع نظر
آج بھی یہ معاشرہ بہت حد تک محفوظ و مامون ہے۔

Child Custody Rules
Child custody is a burning issue for every divorce in Pakistan, which makes both parents to know about child custody laws. Each parent seeks every kind of legal provision to gain custody of their child even though being a single parent is tough.

Child welfare is the key factor taken into consideration by the court while granting custodial rights to any parent. Thus, aspects such as financial stability of parent, reported misconduct, character and capacity of parent are given importance.

The courts grant physical rights to one parent, however increased number of cases have seen shared legal responsibility and guardianship of any child(ren). Thus custodial laws in Pakistan can also be classified asphysical and legal.

According to the judicial system established in Pakistan, the legal right over minors implies that the parent is solely responsible for the welfare of the juvenile in question.

While dealing such issues, the court considers the preference of the minor in question, if he/she is old enough to form an intelligent preference.

Traditionally in Pakistan, mothers were given ownership of minor, but the trend has been showing signs of change. More and more women are opting for career driven lives, which may not enable them to bring up their children as a single parent.

Legal Age of Child Custody after Divorce
In Pakistani Laws the custody of a minor is given to the mother, this right is called as right of hizanat. But after the age of seven years, the mother’s right over the son ends however it is not an absolute right; it is made in the interest of the boy. Girls are given to mothers until they attain puberty. One important aspect of this law is that the conduct of the mother is of great importance, and if that is found ‘objectionable’, she may not be given custody rights. The father has the right to custody after the mother’s term ends by the court of law. In case of the absence of both parents, the grandparents are offered the custody of the child.

However, an important point to be noted is that irrespective of the customs or personal laws, any parent who wants custody of a child and cannot reach a settlement has to seek custody separately from the Court. There is never any automatic transfer of a child’s custody to a particular parent.
