What is a Marriage Cancellation Certificate?
A Marriage Cancellation Certificate (Faskh-e-Nikah / ูุณุฎู ฺูฉุงุญ) is a court-issued document declaring that a marriage has been annulled, voided, or judicially cancelled by a Pakistani Family Court. Unlike a regular โ๏ธ Divorce Certificate, a Marriage Cancellation treats the marriage as never having been valid โ or dissolves it on specific judicial grounds.
This differs from a โ๏ธ Talaq or Khula divorce. It is issued when a court finds the original ๐ Nikah Nama was formed under invalid conditions, or when specific grounds for judicial dissolution exist under Pakistani and Islamic law.
- โVoid marriages: Nikah performed without proper consent, conditions, or between prohibited degrees
- โFaskh (Judicial Dissolution): Wife obtains court cancellation on grounds like cruelty, desertion, or non-maintenance
- โFraud / Misrepresentation: Marriage entered under false pretences or concealed prior marriage
- โRequired Before Remarrying: Need this before new ๐ Nikah or ๐ฑ Online Nikah can be registered
