Forum of Divorce Case in Pakistan

Family Courts in Pakistan have nothing to do with divorce cases. Divorce cases are heard and concluded in the Arbitration Councils in Pakistan. Similarly the West Pakistan Family Courts Act 1964 and West Pakistan Family Courts Rules 1965 are two main statutes that deal with family cases in Pakistan.

Both the captioned statutes have almost nothing to do with the divorce cases. Divorce cases are governed by another statute in Pakistan which is the "Muslim Family Laws Ordinance 1961". This statute formulates and empowers quasi judical forum of Arbitration Councils for proceeding with divorce cases.

The process of divorce is often simple in all corners of Pakistan. There are three adjournments generally for the reconciliation proceedings. At the end the case gets decided resulting in divorce mostly.
