In Pakistan, the procedure for divorce involves several steps depending on whether it is initiated by the husband or wife. For a husband, the process typically involves pronouncing "talaq" (divorce) in writing to the wife and registering it with the local Union Council, which then issues a certificate of divorce. A woman to initiate the procedure of divorce in Pakistan has to file a case of Khula in the family court as per the law of divorce in Pakistan. The court will then review the case and issue a decree, followed by a waiting period before the divorce is finalized. Both parties are advised to seek legal counsel to ensure compliance with all legal requirements.
