Question :

Can you please also tell me whether it is possible to send my divorce notices from Germany directly to the Union Council after I have had it certified by the notary and the Pakistani consulate ? Or do I have to give a person in Pakistan a power of attorney in any case so that he can hand over the notices.

Kind regards

Rehman Parwaz

    Under Pakistani law, the Muslim Family Laws Ordinance, 1961, governs the procedure for effecting a divorce (Talaq). Section 7 of the Ordinance mandates that the husband must notify the Chairman of the Union Council in the jurisdiction where the wife resides or where the marriage was registered. This notification initiates the divorce process, including the issuance of notices and the eventual confirmation of divorce upon completion of the required waiting period (iddat). Sending Divorce Notices from Germany Yes, it is legally possible to send divorce notices directly from Germany to the Union Council in Pakistan, provided the following requirements are fulfilled: an attorney holding a special power of attorney, duly attested by the Embassy of Pakistan, must be appointed to confirm your divorce and record your statement for reconciliation purposes before the Chairman of the Arbitration Council.
