Marriage according to most Muslim jurists is a contract and the parties to a marriage must be adults, of sound mind, have attained puberty, and be able to give free consent to marriage. Marriage without consent is void. At the time of marriage, the husband is under an obligation to fix ‘Mehr’ or dower in favor of the wife. Under Islamic jurisprudence, the following marriages are considered void:-
DOWER:
Dower is known by several names, including Mehr, Sudak, Nuhlah & Akr. It is the property which is incumbent on a husband to give to his wife, either by reason of it being named in the contract of marriage or by virtue of the contract itself as opposed to usufruct of the wife’s person. The dower can be in different forms namely, proper dower, specified dower, prompt dower, and deferred dower. The wife may remit the dower, or any part thereof, in favor of the husband or his heirs, but the remission must be with free consent.

DISSOLUTION OF MARRIAGE
The marriage can be dissolved in any of the following ways:
MAINTENANCE:
In Muslim Family Laws Ordinance, 1961, and Mohammedan (PBUH) Law, the wife is entitled to maintenance during the subsistence of marriage and also the post-operative period during Iddat or pregnancy. However, if the wife is living separately from the husband without a reasonable cause then she is not entitled to maintenance, provided the separation is on account of the husband’s cruelty or non-payment of prompt dower.
CHILD CUSTODY AND MAINTENANCE:
In Pakistan, the Guardian & Wards Act, 1890, is applicable to custody and guardianship cases while keeping in view the personal law to which the minor is subject. Personal law is that which is applicable to a person on the basis of his / her religious conviction. A minor is supposed to be subject to the same personal law as his / her father. This law applies to Muslim and non-Muslim Citizens of Pakistan. The courts have held time & again that custody matters, and the welfare of the minor is of paramount consideration. The custody and guardianship matters fall within the Schedule of the Family Court Act 1964, and therefore, are decided by the Family Judge acting as a Guardian Judge.
