Several legal statutes govern most kinds of family cases in Pakistan for Muslims and Non-Muslims. These include:
This Ordinance was passed to implement specific recommendations of the Commission on Marriage and Family Laws. It provides a legal framework concerning the registration of marriages, polygamy, talaq, and dissolution of marriage other than by talaq, maintenance, and dower.
This piece of legislation provides provisions that led to the establishment of Family Courts for the expeditious disposal of disputes in family matters and other matters interconnected with them.
These Rules were made under the powers conferred by section 26 of the West Pakistan Family Courts Act, 1964. It provides all the essential guidelines for presenting a family case in Family Court.
This enactment comes into the field when the guardianship of a minor(s) undergoes conflict. Guardian Courts are established under this Act. The paramount concern of the Guardian Court is the welfare of minors. In case of dispute, the Guardian Court becomes the temporary guardian of the minor and, after phasing through many tests, chooses a guardian that the court may consider fit.
Paksitani Famil Laws also cover Hindu family laws and litigation arising from them. It is mainly concerned with Hindu marriage and its registration, Hindu divorce and its registration, the financial obligations of spouses, and economic settlement.
This Act primarily governs the dissolution of marriage, judicial separation, and related matters for individuals who belong to the Christian religion. It provides a legal framework for Christian marriages, including divorce, alimony, and custody of children.
This enactment deals with the registration of Christian marriage in Pakistan and related legal matters.
