flag A Pakistani court ordered a man to pay his first wife £1M, £15K monthly, and compensate for dowry items if he remarries without her consent.

flag The Lahore High Court ruled that a husband must pay his first wife Rs1 million in dower, Rs15,000 monthly maintenance with annual increases, and compensation for dowry items if he marries again without her consent. flag Justice Abid Hussain Chatha upheld the decision, stating that undisclosed prior marriages and verbal divorce claims do not dissolve the original marriage, keeping the husband legally obligated for support during the iddat period. flag The ruling reinforces legal protections for first wives under Pakistan’s Muslim Family Laws Ordinance, emphasizing transparency and fairness in polygamous marriages.
