Pakistan's Supreme Court rules all divorces, including instant talaq, are invalid unless the 90-day cooling-off period completes.
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.
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.
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.
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.
El Tribunal Supremo de Pakistán dictamina que todos los divorcios, incluido el talaq instantáneo, son inválidos a menos que se complete el período de reflexión de los 90 días.
