It is a common practice that the delegated right of divorce is deleted before the nikahnama is presented to the bride for signatures. The Law of Pakistan entitles a woman to exercise right of divorce as oppose to file for Khula before the Family courts of Law but as a common practice, the marriage contract is prepared in advance, in manner to defeat the purpose of the legislation.
Therefore it is hoped that this article and dissemination of legal information may educate many in our society to change the practice and secure their legal rights. If Islamic scholars are of the opinion that the said practice is valid and legal, then in such circumstance it is urged that it should be debated in the parliament and necessary legislation should be enacted to remove such clauses from the Nikanama.
Whereas as of now the Divorce Laws of Pakistan states that a woman has a delegated right of divorce and hence her right should not be removed or deleted without her consent in the nikhanama prior to obtaining her signatures and therefore it is further urged that all the clauses should be read and understood by the bride before signing the Nikanama.
