Married life issue.

Thank you for your question.

As an experienced family lawyer with decades of practice in divorce, khula, and marital dispute resolution, I can guide you through the legal process of obtaining a divorce in Pakistan.

 Divorce Procedure & Criteria (for Men):

Under Pakistani law, a husband can initiate divorce (Talaq) by:

Pronouncing divorce (written or oral) three times clearly.

Issuing a written notice of divorce to the concerned Union Council.

The Union Council will then issue a notice to the wife and initiate conciliation proceedings.

If reconciliation fails, the divorce is confirmed after 90 days from the first notice.

 Khula Process (for Women):

If a woman seeks divorce (Khula), the steps are:

File a suit for Khula in the Family Court.

Provide valid reasons such as abuse, cruelty, abandonment, etc.

If reconciliation fails, the court grants a decree of Khula.

The woman may have to return Haq Mehr or agreed dower.

 Criteria for Divorce/Khula:

Breakdown of marital relationship

Lack of compatibility

Cruelty, abuse, mental torture

Abandonment or refusal to provide maintenance

Adultery or immoral behavior
