The legal validity of a divorce notice is not contingent upon the recipient's acceptance or refusal of subsequent notices. Receiving one divorce notice at a specific address satisfies the legal requirements. Refusal to accept additional notices does not confer any rights in favor of the recipient, nor does it diminish any existing rights. In accordance with the law, distinct rights are delineated and enforced accordingly. The effectiveness of the divorce takes place after a period of 90 days from the issuance of the initial divorce notice. The legal process of divorce in Pakistan involves specific procedural steps that must be followed. Consequently, the act of refusing to accept remaining divorce notices does not yield any legal consequences.

If you receive a divorce notice and choose not to accept or respond to the next divorce notice, it may have legal consequences. In legal proceedings, parties are typically given an opportunity to respond to notices and present their case. Failure to respond may result in the court proceeding in your absence, and a judgment may be issued based on the information available.
In the context of a divorce, not responding to a divorce notice could potentially lead to the court granting the divorce in your absence. This may have implications for issues such as the division of property, spousal support, and child custody if applicable.
