Things to consider before Going through with an Online Divorce
An Online Divorce will not cover other aspects such as
- Recovery of Dowery
- Recovery of Jehz
- Full Payment or Partial Refund of Haq Mehr
- Property Disputes
- Child Custody
- Recovery of Benefits
- Guardianship Matters
- Spousal Maintenance/Alimony
These aspects would usually be covered separately (in parallel) or after the divorce proceedings have been started in court through a Civil (Family) Case. If you feel you can agree with these elements beforehand, we highly recommend you go through a Mutual Divorce as opposed to an Online Divorce.
Ways to get Divorced in Pakistan
Currently, Pakistan authorizes online divorce proceedings via Power of Attorney. While certain aspects, like submission of documents or accessing court information, may utilize online platforms, the actual proceedings and finalization of divorce require physical presence before the relevant judicial authorities by the representative who is empowered to represent the parties through a Power of Attorney.
Dissolving a marriage in Pakistan entails adhering to established legal procedures, regardless of the gender seeking the divorce. While some online services claim to facilitate “online talaq” for men or divorce based on specific clauses in nikahnama for women, it’s essential to understand the limitations and potential issues associated with such methods:
For Online talaq:
- Pronouncement Requirements: Under Islamic law and Pakistani legal interpretations, talaq (unilateral divorce pronounced by the husband) requires specific formalities, including pronouncement in the presence of witnesses and subsequent registration with the Union Council.
- Grounds for Challenge: The wife retains the legal right to challenge the talaq in court if it was processed without following proper procedures. It is therefore essential to follow proper procedure.
For Online Khulla:
A copy of the nikkahnama and birth certificates of children (if any) must be sent to file a case before the Family Judge (in Family court) to initiate the Khulla process. Khula cases are usually handled very swiftly and are streamlined to ensure a smooth dissolution of the marriage.
How Overseas Pakistanis Can Utilize Power of Attorney Services
For Pakistani citizens residing abroad, facing a marital breakdown can be especially challenging. Geographical distance adds another layer of complexity to an already emotionally difficult process. However, what if you could manage your divorce in Pakistan from afar, without physically being present for every court hearing or paperwork submission? Power of Attorney (POA) services offer a solution, empowering overseas Pakistanis to navigate their divorce legally and efficiently.
What is a Power of Attorney?
A POA is a legal document that authorizes a trusted individual, known as the attorney-in-fact, to act on your behalf in specific matters. In the context of divorce, this could involve filing petitions, attending court hearings, presenting evidence, and negotiating settlements. By granting POA, you empower your representative to handle every aspect of your divorce proceedings in Pakistan, while you remain informed and involved from abroad.
