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