Legal Question in Family Law in Pakistan

I want to ask that i am out of country and if I want to send divorce to my wife in Pakistan. Can I simply write it to one paper and post it to her address with one copy to union council or it has some different procedure for overseas to send divorce?

Who will represent you in the arbitration council afterwards during the reconciliation proceedings? In the end it might only result in Sharai talaq rather than the legal one..

As for Shariah principles are concerned, pronouncing the Talaq either verbally or written on simple paper, it is effective. But to make it legally effective and admissible in the courts or before other authorities, this paper must be attested by the Pakistani Embassy where you live. Now you may send this paper to your wife in pakistan and a notice of this divorce to the Arbitration Council of that area where your wife lives. If you don't send this notice to the council, legal proceedings may be initiated against you by your wife.

Another important thing which i must describe here is that being a Muslim you must fallow the teachings of Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH), and don't pronounce three "TALAQ" at a time. Just one TALAQ is enough to fulfill the purpose.

And the last thing is that it is very simple. you can do all this at your own while living abroad.

Feel free to contact for further assistance.
