Divorce Certificate in Pakistan
As per the Pakistani law, the time period for the divorce certificate in Pakistan is 90 days, but there is no maximum time limit for the issuing of the certificate, due to which it is most of the time misused. In Pakistan, this time period is required for reconciliation between the husband and the wife. During the reconciliation time period, both parties, along with two family members from each side, are required to be present before the court of arbitration council. Due to the misuse of this time period, the people are not even issued the certificate after years. A female after khula procedure in Pakistan will also need this certificate for next marriage.
