The Lahore
High Court (LHC) on Saturday asked the federal and provincial governments to amend the Haq Mehar column in the Nikahnamas.
The court has directed the governments to add separate columns for cash, moveable an
d immoveable properties in the Nikahnama register.
Acco
rding to Islamic law, Haq Mehar is a compulsory payment paid by the husband to his wife-to-be in the form of money, jewe
llery, household goods, furniture, or any
other type of property upon accepting her hand in marriage.
