Court declared column 16 in Nikah contract, about details of dowry items, as a part of column 13 related to Haq Mehr


Lahore: The Lahore High Court has ordered to amend the Haq Mehr (alimony) column in Nikahnama on Saturday.
In its ruling, a division bench of the high court directed the federal and provincial governments for separate sub-columns of ‘Cash’, ‘Movable’ and ‘Immovable’ in the column of Haq Mehr in Nikahnama.
The court declared column 16 in Nikah contract, about details of dowry items, as a part of the column 13 related to the Haq Mehr.
The high court bench also ruled for fixing minimum academic qualification for a Nikah Registrar and a proper arrangement for their training.
“The parties if intend to write something other than the alimony, it should be written separately in the marriage deed,” the ruling said.
The bench issued its judgement over petitions filed by messrs Wasif Ali and others. The petitioners had challenged a verdict of a lower court with regard to return of the dowry.
