LAHORE: The court has said that if the time for payment of dowry is not mentioned in the marriage certificate, then the husband will have to pay this amount on the wife’s demand.
The Lahore High Court accepted the woman’s application in this regard and declared the decision of the Family Court null and void which had refused to pay the wife the amount of dowry.
Justice Abid Hussain issued a 6-page written decision. The court’s decision upheld the decision of the Appellate Court regarding non-maintenance and dowry.
The petitioner had filed a claim for recovery of dowry and 5 tola gold dowry from the husband, while the Family Court ordered payment of Rs 5,000 monthly expenses and dowry, but rejected the dowry claim.
The court ruled that even if the marriage of the husband and wife is not dissolved, the wife is entitled to dowry and her right is mandatory for the husband. The court also clarified that the decision of the Appellate Court regarding dowry is correct and enforceable.
