    What We Do

    Divorce (Talaq) — Done Correctly

    A valid talaq requires the husband to pronounce divorce and then serve written notice on the Chairman of the Union Council, with a copy to the wife. The Union Council then begins a 90-day reconciliation period (iddat), after which — if reconciliation fails — the divorce takes effect and a divorce certificate is issued. Missing these steps is the most common reason a divorce is later challenged.

    We handle the full process, whether you are the husband seeking a lawful divorce, or the wife needing to confirm a divorce is valid and to protect your dower, maintenance, and children. We also handle divorce by the wife under a delegated right (talaq-e-tafweez) where it applies.

    Ask a Question
    What is the correct divorce (talaq) procedure in Pakistan?
    After pronouncing talaq, the husband must serve written notice on the Chairman of the Union Council, with a copy to the wife. The Union Council starts a 90-day reconciliation (iddat) period; if reconciliation fails, the divorce becomes effective and a divorce certificate is issued. Skipping the notice is the most common reason a divorce is later held ineffective.
    Is a divorce valid without notice to the Union Council?
    The written notice to the Union Council is a legal requirement, and its absence can render the divorce ineffective or open to challenge. To avoid disputes later, the correct notice and procedure should be followed. We ensure it is done properly.
    How long does a divorce take to become effective?
    A talaq generally becomes effective after the 90-day reconciliation period following notice to the Union Council, provided reconciliation fails and the divorce is not revoked. We manage the timeline and obtain the certificate.
    Can a wife give divorce in Pakistan?
    A wife can pronounce divorce herself only where the right has been delegated to her (talaq-e-tafweez), usually in the nikahnama. Otherwise, her remedy is khula through the Family Court. We advise which route applies to you.
    What about maintenance and custody in a divorce?
    Divorce does not extinguish claims for a wife's dower, maintenance during iddat, or the maintenance and custody of children — these are protected and can be pursued. We handle them alongside the divorce so nothing is lost.
