POC issue due to paretns death

18/01/2026 No Comments

I applied for my wife POC she Australian citizen her mother and father Fijian but her father passed away 40 years ago and mother passed away 20 years ago Nadra asking for their identification documents we only ve her mother bother certificate and marriage corticate dnt ve father other documents but they are not accepting marriage certificate…. on the birth certificate of my wife mention that in front father and mother name that if their father is Indian than mention their name only this issue Nadra asking for their identification documents…her mother and father born in fiji they were not Indian.

ANSWER ;

 

Under NADRA law and POC regulations, verification of parentage and background is mandatory; however, where the parents have passed away and production of their passports or identity documents is impossible, the law permits reliance on alternative evidence.

In such circumstances, the following substitute documents should be considered sufficient:

  1. Death Certificates of Parents
    Officially issued death certificates establish that both parents died decades ago, making it practically impossible to provide their passports or identity documents.
  2. Affidavit of the Applicant
    A duly sworn affidavit by the applicant clearly stating:

    • the dates and places of death of both parents;
    • non-availability of any identity documents due to their death and lapse of time;
    • that both parents were born in Fiji and were never Indian nationals;
    • that no material fact has been concealed or misrepresented.
  3. Birth Certificate as Supporting Evidence
    The applicant’s birth certificate, showing the names of both parents, serves as supporting proof of lineage, even though it is not, by itself, proof of nationality.

The settled legal principle is that the law does not require performance of an impossible act. Where original parental identity documents cannot be produced due to death and passage of time, duly issued death certificates coupled with a sworn affidavit constitute valid alternative proof.

Any refusal to consider such alternative evidence would amount to an unreasonable and unlawful demand, liable to be challenged before the constitutional courts.

جواب

(بمطابق پاکستانی قانون و اسلامی اصول):

آپ کے بیان کے مطابق مسئلہ نکاح کے انعقاد سے متعلق ہے۔ اس کا قانونی و شرعی تجزیہ درج ذیل ہے:

1. نکاح کے بنیادی ارکان (Pakistan Muslim Family Law & اسلامی فقہ)

پاکستان میں مسلم نکاح کے لیے درج ذیل امور لازم ہیں:

  1. ایجاب و قبول
    مرد و عورت کی طرف سے ایک ہی مجلس میں واضح الفاظ کے ساتھ پیشکش (Offer) اور قبولیت (Acceptance)

  2. کم از کم دو عاقل، بالغ مسلمان گواہ

  3. حق مہر کا تعین

  4. فریقین کی رضامندی

2. آپ کے بیان کی قانونی جانچ

آپ کے بیان کے مطابق:

  • آپ دونوں نے باہمی رضامندی سے نکاح کیا؛

  • ایک ہی جگہ بیٹھ کر ایجاب و قبول تین مرتبہ ہوا؛

  • حق مہر مقرر کیا گیا؛

  • کم از کم دو گواہ موجود تھے (آپ کی کزن اور آپ کے دو کزن)؛

  • نکاح کے فوراً بعد آپ نے خود کو میاں بیوی تسلیم کیا اور اسی حیثیت سے رہ رہے ہیں۔

3. قانونی و شرعی نتیجہ

اگر واقعی:

  • ایجاب و قبول ایک ہی مجلس میں ہوا،

  • گواہ موجود تھے اور انہوں نے یہ ایجاب و قبول سنا،

  • حق مہر مقرر کیا گیا،

تو شرعاً اور قانوناً یہ نکاح درست (Valid Nikah) شمار ہوگا، چاہے نکاح رجسٹرڈ نہ بھی ہو۔

➡️ پاکستانی قانون کے مطابق نکاح کا وجود رجسٹریشن پر منحصر نہیں بلکہ رجسٹریشن صرف ثبوت (Proof) کے لیے ہوتی ہے۔

4. اہم قانونی نکتہ (Registration)

  • اگر نکاح نادرا / یونین کونسل میں رجسٹرڈ نہیں تو:

    • نکاح باطل نہیں ہوتا

    • مگر مستقبل میں ثبوت، وراثت، نان نفقہ، بچوں کی رجسٹریشن جیسے مسائل پیدا ہو سکتے ہیں۔

5. عدالتوں کا مؤقف

پاکستانی عدالتوں نے متعدد فیصلوں میں واضح کیا ہے کہ:

“جہاں ایجاب، قبول، گواہ اور حق مہر موجود ہو، وہاں نکاح درست سمجھا جائے گا، خواہ رجسٹرڈ نہ ہو۔”

6. حتمی جواب

جی ہاں
✔️ اگر آپ کے بیان کردہ تمام حقائق درست ہیں تو:

  • آپ دونوں قانوناً اور شرعاً نکاح میں ہیں

  • وہ عورت آپ کی جائز بیوی ہے

7. نکاح کا اندراج نہ کروانا — قانونی جرم (Muslim Family Laws Ordinance, 1961)

پاکستان میں اگرچہ غیر رجسٹرڈ نکاح شرعاً و قانوناً درست ہو سکتا ہے، لیکن نکاح کا اندراج نہ کروانا ایک باقاعدہ قانونی جرم ہے۔

مسلم فیملی لاز آرڈیننس 1961 کے مطابق:

  • نکاح کا اندراج کروانا لازمی (Mandatory) ہے؛

  • نکاح رجسٹرار کی ذمہ داری ہے کہ وہ نکاح نامہ یونین کونسل میں درج کرے؛

  • نکاح کا اندراج نہ کروانا قابلِ سزا جرم ہے۔

سزا:

  • قیدِ سادہ (جو ایک ماہ تک ہو سکتی ہے)،

  • اور/یا جرمانہ

  • یا دونوں سزائیں اکٹھی بھی دی جا سکتی ہیں۔

➡️ تاہم یہ بات واضح رہے کہ:

  • عدم رجسٹریشن نکاح کو باطل نہیں کرتی

  • بلکہ یہ صرف قانونی خلاف ورزی (Offence) ہے، جس کی سزا مقرر ہے۔

عدالتی مؤقف:

پاکستانی عدالتوں نے یہ اصول بارہا واضح کیا ہے کہ:

نکاح اگر شرعی ارکان کے مطابق ہو تو درست ہوگا، مگر اس کا اندراج نہ کروانا قانون شکنی ہے۔

حتمی خلاصہ:

✔️ آپ دونوں نکاح میں ہیں اور عورت آپ کی قانونی بیوی ہے
❌ مگر اگر نکاح رجسٹرڈ نہیں تو یہ Muslim Family Laws Ordinance 1961 کی خلاف ورزی ہے

سخت قانونی مشورہ:

آپ فوراً:

  • نکاح رجسٹریشن کروائیں

  • تاکہ کسی بھی فوجداری یا خاندانی قانونی پیچیدگی سے محفوظ رہا جا سکے۔

Property Dispute and False Claims

05/01/2026 No Comments

Property Dispute and False Claims ;We had a property measuring 10 marla, out of which 5 marla was registered in my name and 5 marla in my mother’s name. This property was gifted to us by my father during his lifetime.

The property was sold legally. I received the amount for my 5 marla share, while my mother retained the amount for her 5 marla share.

One of my sisters is now threatening to file a case against me, claiming a share in the property. She has previously filed multiple cases (around four times) even before the sale and has continuously disturbed the family.

I am also receiving threats. I would like legal guidance on whether such a claim is valid and how I can protect myself legally.

Answer: 

Since your father validly gifted the property during his lifetime and 5 marla was legally registered in your name and 5 marla in your mother’s name, you both became absolute owners of your respective shares; therefore, the subsequent legal sale and receipt of sale proceeds are lawful and final. A sister has no legal right or share in property that was gifted and transferred before the father’s death, unless she can successfully challenge the gift deed itself on lawful grounds such as fraud or forgery, which mere threats or repeated filings do not establish. Accordingly, her claim is not legally maintainable, and repeated cases may amount to abuse of process; you may seek dismissal with costs and also take legal action for criminal intimidation if threats continue.

 

 

Pakistan Origin Card to Afghan National

02/01/2026 No Comments

Hello salam
Sir I was born in pakistan in 1998 but when I qas 11 or 12 years old I left pakistani I don’t have any nic card or anything else I came to eu I claimed a asylums as a afghan in the eu since Pakistani made hard for afghan to get visa I wanted to apply for poc card how can I do it
Thanks:

ANSWER:

Based on the facts stated, it is clarified that a Pakistan Origin Card (POC) is issued by NADRA only to foreign nationals of Pakistani origin who can establish their Pakistani roots through valid documentary evidence. The POC is not issued to Pakistani citizens, nor can it be used to regularize citizenship status obtained by misrepresentation.

Since you were born in Pakistan, you are, in principle, considered a Pakistani by birth, subject to verification of facts and records. However, as you stated that you later claimed asylum as an Afghan national in the EU, this raises serious legal and documentary complications. NADRA and Pakistani authorities require consistent nationality records, and any declaration of a different nationality before a foreign state may affect your eligibility.

In your case, the following points are legally relevant:

If your birth in Pakistan can be proven through a birth certificate, hospital record, school record, or parentage evidence, you may be eligible to apply for a Pakistani CNIC/NICOP, not a POC.

A POC application is only maintainable if you have formally acquired a foreign nationality and can prove Pakistani origin through parents or grandparents, without any conflicting nationality claims.

Claiming asylum as an Afghan may require legal clarification or record correction, as NADRA will verify nationality data, family records, and immigration history.

Any application based on incorrect or contradictory information may be rejected or blacklisted by the authorities.

For proper guidance, document verification, and case assessment, you may contact Pak-Lawyer Associates for a detailed legal consultation.

father transfers property to sons

02/01/2026 1 Comment

Aslam-o-alaikum, My name is perveen I found this website through Google Search, My question, My father gave his all inheritance land to his 2 sons and I’m a daughter , can I have the right to get my share from my Brothers but my father is still alive, Kindly give me any advice according laws, Thanks Again.

ANSWER:

1. **During the Father’s Lifetime**

Under Pakistani law, **no child—son or daughter—has a legal “inheritance right” while the father is alive**, because inheritance only opens **after the death** of the owner.

However:

* If your father has **transferred the land to his two sons during his lifetime** through **gift (Hiba), sale, or transfer**, then:

* He was legally entitled to do so **only if the transfer was valid and genuine**.
* But **Islamic law and Pakistani courts strongly discourage discrimination** between children without a valid reason.

2. **When Such Transfers Can Be Challenged**

You **can challenge** the transfer even during your father’s lifetime if:

* The transfer was **not a genuine gift** (only on paper, possession not given).
* It was obtained through **fraud, pressure, misrepresentation, or undue influence**.
* Your father lacked **free consent or mental capacity** at the time of transfer.
* The transfer was actually made to **deprive you of your lawful share**, while your father retained control.

Courts have held that a **fake or colorable transaction** can be set aside.

3. **After the Death of Your Father**

If the land:

* Was **never validly transferred**, or
* The gift was **incomplete under Islamic law** (no possession delivered),

then after your father’s death:

* The property will be treated as **inheritance**, and
* You, as a daughter, will have a **fixed legal share** under Islamic law and the Muslim Family Laws Ordinance.

4. **Important Legal Position**

* A **daughter cannot be permanently deprived** of her inheritance through sham or fraudulent transfers.
* Courts protect women’s inheritance rights and scrutinize transfers made **to defeat future inheritance**.

5. **Practical Advice**

* First, **check the mode of transfer** (gift deed, mutation, sale deed).
* Verify whether **possession was delivered** to your brothers.
* If the transfer appears suspicious, you may **file a civil suit** for declaration and cancellation of the transfer.
* If your father is alive and capable, courts usually prefer **amicable settlement** within the family.

**Conclusion**

✔ While your father is alive, you do not have an inheritance right as such.
✔ But **you are not without remedy** if the transfer to your brothers is illegal, fraudulent, or incomplete.
✔ If the transfer is valid and complete, it can only be challenged on strong legal grounds.
