👩‍⚖️ What the Law Says About Custody in Pakistan

In Pakistan, custody and guardianship are governed by:

• Guardians and Wards Act, 1890
• Muslim Personal Law principles
• Family Courts Act, 1964

Types of Custody:

• Legal Custody (Guardianship): Decision-making power over the child’s education, healthcare, and welfare.
• Physical Custody: Where and with whom the child primarily lives.
• Visitation Rights: Right of the non-custodial parent to meet or spend time with the child.

The “best interest of the minor” is the guiding principle for all decisions.

• ✅ Visitation Rights & Supervised Meetings

At Yahya Rashid & Co., we understand that the decision to end a marriage is never easy.

Marriage dissolution is governed by:

A woman may file a suit for Khula in Family Court if reconciliation has failed. The court can dissolve the marriage by decree under Section 8 of the Muslim Family Laws Ordinance.
