Recover unpaid dower and dowry articles through the Family Court. We enforce your financial rights arising from the marriage clearly and firmly.
Marriage in Pakistan creates real financial rights. The dower (Haq Mehr) promised in the Nikah Nama is a debt owed to the wife, and dowry articles (jahez) brought into the marriage remain her property. When a marriage ends, these are frequently withheld. We recover them through the Family Courts with well-prepared, evidence-backed claims.
Haq Mehr may be prompt (payable on demand) or deferred (payable on divorce or death). Whatever was agreed in the Nikah Nama is enforceable. Note that in Khula, a wife may forgo or return the dower, we advise you clearly on how dower interacts with the type of divorce.
Articles given to the bride, from household goods to jewellery, remain her property. Where they are retained by the husband or in-laws, we file for recovery, using lists, receipts, photographs and witnesses as evidence.
The Nikah Nama, dowry lists, receipts and messages are powerful. We help you assemble and present the evidence needed to recover what you are owed.

Dowry lists, receipts, photographs, packaging, and witness statements all help. We work with whatever you have and build the strongest possible case.
Not always, and it depends on the facts and what was actually paid. In many Khula cases the wife returns or forgoes dower, but this is assessed case by case. We explain the trade-offs before you decide.
