Legal Question in Family Law in Pakistan
My Divorce case is in Union Council, The last notice is issued. The dower is RS 50000/- on prompt which was not paid. We have give gold jewellery to my wife , which she is not giving back, we have file a case in family court for recovery of jewellery , another case in family court is going on for dower, child support expense etc. Now after divorce is confirmed from Union Council and divorce certificate issued. Did I have to pay Dower immediately or we have to wait for the case the recovery of jewellery. Also it is my wife who decided to leave my house and take separation. What is law says in this regard.?

Law is very much clear that the dower amount has to be paid if divorce is given by the husband but in case wife gets Khula then she has to waive the dower amount. The jewelry which you have given her what is its nature, e.g is it gift or in lieu of dower.
