When a male and a female signs
papers of court marriage in Pakistan they enter into a contract. Once they have
signed it they enter the liabilities as husband and wife of which they cannot
cancel. Some of the teen agers after getting married are not ready to take
liabilities or sometimes they take liabilities but get fed up and they start
thing how to get rid of it. Most of the times this couple ask if they can
cancel or undo the court
marriage in Pakistan. The answer to such question is that the court marriage procedure
in Pakistan cannot be cancelled and cannot be undo. If a signature of a
male or a female has forcefully taken then there is a separate case but let me
remind you that in a court marriage in Pakistan a statement of male or a female
is given in a court before a magistrate and proper court proceedings take
place. It is very much obvious that the court proceedings takes place
systematically and whenever a case is filed a proper diary takes place so it is
impossible to cancel or delete a court marriage procedure in Pakistan. This is
out of question if someone claims that the signatures and thumb impression was
taken forcefully. However if a party does nikah only and does not do a court
marriage in Pakistan then it is possible that the signatures or thumb
impression was taken forcefully. In this case the concerned party has to file a
case of jactitation of marriage which is filed to undo the effect of nikah. In
jactitation of marriage a party concerned takes a plea that the signature or
thumb impressions are either fake or taken by force therefore the nikahnama
registered requires to be cancelled. So if you court marriage in
Lahore Pakistan or Karachi or wherever in Pakistan it cannot be cancelled.
Advocate Nazia a female lawyer
famous for court marriage in Lahore Pakistan says that sometimes after court
marriage in Lahore Pakistan the parents of female approaches her to cancel the
court marriage. This request normally comes from those parents who are not well
educated or are not acquainted with the law. They ask us to delete the court
marriage in Pakistan but we have to convince them that this thing is not possible.
Still they insist to delete the marriage but unfortunately this thing is not possible.
However after court marriage in Pakistan a female can file a case of khula in
Pakistan and a male can initiate talaq procedure in Pakistan but deleting a
court marriage procedure in Pakistan is not possible. Still there are some back
door channels through which some aid can be provided to the party but if
someone is asking to legally delete a court marriage procedure in Pakistan then
legally it cannot be done. Normally this situation arises when court marriage
of a female comes in the knowledge of parents of bride and later on she comes
under an influence of her parents but what is done is done.
