flag Pakistan's Supreme Court rules all divorces, including instant talaq, are invalid unless the 90-day cooling-off period completes.

flag Pakistan's Supreme Court has ruled that no divorce, including instant talaq, takes legal effect until the 90-day waiting period under the Muslim Family Laws Ordinance expires, affirming the right to withdraw a divorce notice within that time. flag The decision, led by Chief Justice Yahya Afridi, upholds a Sindh High Court ruling in a case where a wife withdrew her divorce notice before the 90-day window closed. flag The court emphasized the period’s role in enabling reconciliation and protecting family stability, stating that foreign divorce proceedings do not override the right to revoke in Pakistan. flag The ruling reinforces women’s rights under the law and confirms that all divorces, regardless of method, must complete the cooling-off period to be valid.
