Restriction and Registration of Divorce in Islamic And Pakistani laws

Abstract
In the case of disunity and conflict between the spouses, the Islamic law has instituted a reasonable way for the dissolution of marriage between them which is called “divorced”. Islamic law gives instructions to tackle the issue of divorce positively. Two important issues related to divorce has discussed in this research article in the light of Islamic law and in the perspective of Pakistani legal system. Firstly, the issue pertaining to the Registration of divorce according to the prescribed procedure which is an important legal and social issue imposed by the Muslim family law ordinance 1961 is highlighted. Secondly, the impliedly restriction on the number of divorced as declared by the said ordinance that husband can remarry with same wife without intervening marriage with a third person without consideration of number of divorce. The case of registration of divorce is not repugnant to Islamic law, because it is an administrative discretion of government, which may be imposed by government for the protection of public interest, but restriction regarding the number of divorced as fixed by Islamic law or snatching the power of husband which has conferred on him by Allah almighty is illegal and repugnant to Shari’ah. So Islamic law does not allow any such interference which deprived a person from enjoying his legal right. Method of research adopted during this study is analytical and comparative.
