Clause 15 of Nikah Nama Form– Payments Schedule of Haq Mahar (or Haq Mehar/Meher) (Dowry)

In this clause, it is stated whether a part of the Haq Mahar (or Haq Mehar/Meher) is paid up front and if so, how much in value terms.

Clause 16 of Nikah Nama Form– Allotment of Immovable Property

The purpose of this clause is to determine whether any real estate property was given to the bride as dowry. If so, the value and specifications of the property mentioned here.

Clause 17 of Nikah Nama Form– Supplementary Provisions if Applicable

The clause specifically refers to any special conditions associated with Haq Mahar (or Haq Mehar/Meher).

Clause 18 of Nikah Nama Form– The Right to Divorce

Nikah nama form includes a clause granting the woman the right to divorce her husband. It is unfortunate that in Pakistan they are often cut off at the time of the Nikah without consulting with the bride.

When it comes to this clause, it asks whether the husband has granted his wife the right to divorce and, if so, what are the terms? 

Clause 18 of Nikah Nama Form allows a husband to delegate his sole right of divorce to his wife. Having the right protects a woman and gives her an option if her marriage isn’t working. In the event that the related section is left blank, she must go to court and file for a Khula, also known as a judicial divorce or dissolution of marriage. 

Note: It should be noted that a woman who is granted the right to divorce her husband will still be able to keep her Haq Mahar (or Haq Mehar/Meher) if she divorces her husband. Should the right to divorce not be granted, the wife must ask the court for Khula. Khula is however granted by the court and is conditional on the wife renouncing her Haq Mahar (or Haq Mehar/Meher) in order to qualify.

Clause 19 of the Nikah Nama Form– Restrictions on Divorce

Clause 19 of the Nikah Nama Form asks if the husband’s right to divorce has been restricted in any way.

Clause 20 of the Nikah Nama Form– Guarantees and Allowances

In clause 20 of the Nikah nama form, the parties are asked if there is an agreement between them regarding the monthly allowance and the guarantees while they are married. In that case, the particulars can be stated.

The section is usually interpreted as an agreement between the wife and her husband over her monthly allowance, but experts suggest that the division of responsibilities and chores among the couple can also be included, paving the way for a woman to pursue her professional career or education. It’s important in the sense that it can help set the tone for a marriage and prevent any future conflict between husband and wife in terms of roles and responsibilities.

Clause 21 and 22 of Nikah Nama Form– Groom’s Marital Status

Among the important sections of the Nikah Nama is this one. This section asks if a groom is already married or if he has another wife. Whether he has taken the permission of his first wife and submitted proofs of her permission to enter into another marriage.

While a second marriage is not annulled according to Islam when the first wife has not given her consent, under the law it is a criminal offense punishable with a fine and jail time.

Clause 23 to 25 of the Nikah Nama Form– Particulars of Parties, Signatures and Registration

This part includes, among other things, the details of the Nikah Khawan, the person who performed the Nikah or solemnized it, the Registrar (official) who registers it, the date of the ceremony and the amount of the Govt. registration fee.

Nikah nama Form also keeps a section for signatures of the bride, groom, witnesses, Nikah Khawan and Nikah Registrar, along with their official seals where applicable. Note: As part of the Muslim Family Law Ordinance 1961, registration of the Nikahnama with the Union Council/Village Council is necessary and then he can obtain a Marriage Registration Certificate (MRC).
