Me and my husband are currently residing in Australia and have mutually agreed to end our marriage. We have come to the understanding that our marriage cannot work any longer, and therefore, we have decided to proceed with a mutual divorce.
We would like to know the following:
Can our mutual divorce be finalized in accordance with Islamic principles?
What is the procedure for obtaining a divorce under Pakistani family laws, considering our marriage is registered in Pakistan?
Is it necessary for both of us to be physically present in Pakistan to complete the process, or can it be managed remotely through legal representation?
What would be the estimated cost of completing the divorce process in Pakistan?
We are looking forward to your guidance on this matter.

Thank you for contacting Pak-Lawyer Associates. Since your marriage is registered in Pakistan, the process of mutual divorce will follow Pakistani family laws under the Muslim Family Laws Ordinance, 1961. Below are the details: Procedure: Both spouses need to sign a Talaq-e-Mubarat (mutual agreement for divorce). This agreement is submitted to the Union Council or the relevant arbitration council in Pakistan. The council then initiates the process and confirms the dissolution after 90 days. Physical Presence: Your physical presence in Pakistan is not required. Both you and your wife can authorize an attorney to represent you. Our team at Pak-Lawyer Associates can assist in preparing and submitting all the required documents on your behalf. Time Frame: The process usually takes 90 days from the date of filing with the Union Council, as stipulated by Pakistani law. Cost: The cost depends on case details such as documentation and representation. We can provide an exact estimate after reviewing your case. If you wish to proceed, please share the following documents: Copy of your Nikahnama (marriage certificate). CNIC/passport copies of both spouses. Any other relevant documents. Feel free to reach out for further assistance. You can also contact me directly via WhatsApp at +92 321 4610092 for quick communication. We look forward to assisting you.
