Yes, a Muslim marriage in Pakistan can be dissolved by means other than Talaq (divorce). Islamic law recognizes several methods for dissolving a Muslim marriage, providing options for both the husband and the wife. Here are a few ways a Muslim marriage can be dissolved in Pakistan:

  1. Khula: Khula is a right granted to the wife to seek a divorce from her husband. It involves the wife filing a suit in a family court, stating her desire to end the marriage. The court evaluates the grounds provided by the wife and, if satisfied, grants the khula, thereby dissolving the marriage.
  2. Faskh: Faskh refers to the dissolution of a marriage by a court order. It occurs when there are valid grounds for terminating the marriage, such as cruelty, impotence, insanity, or non-performance of marital obligations. The party seeking faskh can file a case in a family court, presenting the evidence and reasons for seeking dissolution. If the court finds the grounds to be valid, it may issue a decree dissolving the marriage.
  3. Dissolution by mutual consent: If both spouses agree to end their marriage, they can present a joint application for dissolution of marriage to a family court. The court reviews the application, and if satisfied that the consent is genuine, it may grant the dissolution.

It’s important to note that the specific procedures and requirements for dissolution may vary depending on the personal laws applicable to the individuals involved. The Muslim personal law governs marriage and divorce for Muslims in Pakistan.
