Divorce
Divorce is the legal dissolution of a marriage by a court or other competent authority. It officially ends the marital relationship, allowing both parties to live separately and remarry if they choose. Divorce cases often involve issues like child custody, alimony, and division of property.
Recovery of Dower and Maintenance
Recovery of dower refers to the legal claim for the payment of the dower (mahr) agreed upon during marriage, which the husband must pay to the wife. Maintenance is the financial support that a husband is legally obliged to provide to his wife and children for their living expenses. Legal cases can be filed to claim these dues.
Child Custody
Child custody refers to the legal guardianship and care of a child after the separation or divorce of the parents. The court decides who will have the right to care for and make decisions on behalf of the child, ensuring the child’s best interests and welfare are protected.
Division of Family Property
Division of family property involves legally distributing assets and properties among family members, usually after the death of a family member or during family disputes. The process ensures fair and lawful sharing according to inheritance laws or mutual agreement among heirs.
