I am sharing my wonderful and seamless experience with Umer Daraz at Law of Lawyers Lahore and Islamabad offices. As a UK national and living in the UK with Pakistani birth. I had asked them to arrange an Apostille to my birth certificate at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Islamabad. I thought this would be a daunting task that would take forever, thankfully I was reassured otherwise. Even though Umer is based at the Lahore office, he arranged for his Islamabad office to deal with matters. I was given a fully transparent fixed cost beforehand and I was told that my document would have an Apostille within a couple of days. I made an upfront payment and received next day notification and a screenshot showing completion of Apostille. Absolutely brilliant work. First class. Umer is a pleasure to deal with and is knowledgeable in the legal field and an absolute go to lawyer for overseas Pakistanis. I would have no hesitation in recommending him and the firm Law of Lawyers to anyone. I was fully reassured and I will certainly be using their services again.
Fast service, always available on call for updates. Very professional and up to date on processes. Highly recommended.
I am a resident of the KSA and required a birth certificate for my son. The team provided excellent service, handled the entire process efficiently, and delivered the certificate at a very reasonable fee. I am very satisfied and would definitely recommend their services to other.
I contacted Law of Lawyers for assistance with obtaining a divorce certificate. They were extremely professional and efficient — the certificate was ready within just a few days. I'm totally satisfied with their service and highly recommend them to others seeking reliable legal help. Once again Thank You very much.
I contacted the firm for Birth Certificate since i am living overseas. They applied for me through legal means and sent me the birth certificate attested with MoFA stamps within a week.
Great communication and very professional. Inside 2 weeks they were able to obtain a marriage certificate from a Nikanama, attestation by MOFA in Pakistan and attestation by the UAE embassy in Pakistan. All of this was done while I was in the UK as I am a Uk resident but my marriage was in Pakistan 7 years ago. They made the process very easy and always reply within minutes to any questions. Amazing service!
Alhamdulillah, I had a wonderful experience with Law of Lawyers for my online nikah from the Netherlands. The process was smooth, efficient, and handled with the utmost professionalism. The team was very cooperative and ensured that all steps were in full accordance with Islamic teachings. I’m truly grateful for their service and highly recommend them to anyone seeking a Shariah-compliant nikah, especially from abroad. May Allah bless their efforts.
We used this law of Layers to get a new marriage certificate and MOFA apostille. Service was speedy ( literally within days for certificate and 8 days for MOFA apostille) for both. I am based in UK so in a different time zone, however Umer was quick to respond to any questions and very professional. The certificate was securely packed and shipped to UK using DHL express which we received within 4 days. Overall great experience and i highly recommend them.
Truly Grateful for Their Exceptional Online Nikah Service I am from Dubai, and my bride is from the Philippines, and Alhamdulillah, with the help of Law of Lawyer, we were able to get married online in a completely halal and Shari’ah-compliant way. What truly sets this team apart is their transparency, detailed guidance, and genuine sincerity. They don’t just process papers — they explain every step, offer support throughout, and prioritize what’s in the best interest of the client.

May Allah reward this team for their honest and noble work, and may this platform continue to help many more couples unite in a halal and respectful way. Highly recommended from my heart! — A happy groom from Dubai
The legal process for recovering dowry items is governed under the Muslim Family Laws and the Family Courts Act, 1964. The law recognizes the bride’s right to ownership of dowry items, which can be claimed through a suit in Family Court. In such cases, the courts assess the legitimacy of the dowry claims based on evidence such as dowry lists (Jahez Nama), witness testimonies, and other supporting documentation.
Dowry items are considered the exclusive property of the bride. In the event of a divorce or separation, the husband or his family cannot withhold these items. If the dowry has been sold, damaged, or withheld, the wife is entitled to seek legal redress for the return of the items or their equivalent monetary value.
Shazia Parveen v. Muhammad Iqbal (2019 YLR 1331):The court ruled in favor of the wife, ordering the husband to return dowry items withheld following the dissolution of marriage.
A dowry recovery suit can be filed in Family Court where the claimant is required to provide a detailed list of dowry items. Supporting evidence such as the Jahez Namaor witness testimony is crucial in these proceedings. Courts often take into account the specific circumstances of the marriage and the items listed in the dowry claim.
Hina v. Tariq Mahmood (2018 CLC 945):The court accepted oral witness evidence to support the dowry recovery claim in the absence of a written dowry list, ruling in favor of the wife.
A Jahez Namaor dowry list is a critical document listing the items given as dowry during the marriage. This document is often presented as primary evidence in dowry recovery suits. In cases where no written list exists, witness testimonies from family or friends who were present at the time of the marriage may be used.
Gulnaz v. Muhammad Asif (2017 SCMR 789):The court emphasized the importance of documented evidence like the Jahez Nama, though it allowed corroborating testimonies in its absence.
Before initiating court proceedings, a legal notice can be sent to the husband or his family, formally requesting the return of the dowry items. This step is often taken to encourage an out-of-court settlement and avoid lengthy litigation.
If the legal notice is ignored, the next step is to file a Dowry Recovery Suitin Family Court. The claimant will present evidence such as the dowry list, along with witness testimonies, to substantiate their claim.
Rabia Sultan v. Asif Kamal (2021 SCMR 678):The Supreme Court upheld the wife’s right to recover dowry items or their equivalent value, ordering enforcement measures when the husband failed to comply.
